Just installed 2025.2.5-full, will check if it still happens.

Do you ever have the app crash on you while using it because of this?

The stacktrace you posted probably is unrelated, just the reason the system decided it was out of memory but it doesn't tell a lot about what is using the memory. If you are able to get OOM logs from the system which include more details (using logcat), that would be helpful.

growth limit 268435456

That's not a lot of memory for the app (~268 MB), especially if it has a WebView open or cached. This may be a device specific issue we cannot fix.
