Switch freezes when I close minecraft

Ever since the 1.16.2 update was released, whenever I close Minecraft to get off my switch or simply play another game, my switch freezes. This doesn’t happen when I close any other games and as I said, it didn’t start until the most recent update, so I’m fairly certain it’s not an issue with my switch.. It’s really annoying to restart my entire console each time I want to get off my switch
