Game crashes when loading the list of worlds after update 1.20.80 - Android 11

The game crashes within five seconds of clicking "Play" on main menu and seeing the list of worlds/realms. The game just closes with no error message, as if it was being minimized.

I am able to go to the settings menu and marketplace with no issue.

I did a complete reinstall of the game and the issue still persists. I restarted phone and issue persists. I have tried clicking on the Play button 20+ times and the issue repeated every time.

Issue could be related to the new Realms Stories thing that I opted into. I have no way of opting back out of it through the Realms website, so I am unable to test.
