Google always keeps updating all its app and the 'Google' app is no different, but several people on the internet appear to be going through an annoying issue with the app which constantly makes it crash.
Users on Twitter and Reddit highlighted the issue, until folks over at Android Authority took note and figured out that an update to the app — version 12.23.16.23.arm64 and 12.22.8.23, specifically — appear to be the culprit. That said, there is no 'easy' way to check if you have an affected version of the app, but if you do have an affected version of the app, you will see repeated notifications that the app has stopped working.
There appears to be no official fix as of this writing, but the company's Made By Google account did recommend soft rebooting the phone to one user as a potential remedy.
Other suggestions include installing the latest beta version of the app, or reverting to a previous version. There seems to be no universal fix that helps, though.
The issue is reminiscent of a recent issue with Android System WebView, which caused Gmail and other Google apps to crash. However, this time it doesn't seem other Google apps are affected, so the problem will likely be fixed with another update to the Google app.
