Description

For some specific contacts when I try typing the first character, the app crashes. Sometimes the crash happens as soon as I open a chat, sometimes when I type the first character.
There's no stack trace or info about why this happens.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash when opening a chat and when typing the first character, including with the affected contacts. Capture a stack trace and trace the Android chat-opening and first-character input paths; done means the crash is identified and the affected scenarios no longer crash.
