The Google app has been acting extremely unstable on OnePlus smartphones lately. Messages about problems began to appear more and more often on various forums and popular social networks. This suggests that Google is aware of the problem, but has not yet solved it.
Most often, the error occurs on OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T smartphones, but other mobile devices of the company are also susceptible to it. The problems started from the moment the Google application was updated to version v10.97.8.21.arm64. Since then, several updates have been released, which, however, did not solve the problem.
According to users, the Google search widget works fine, but opening the application itself causes it to crash or flicker on the screen. The application also works fine in the background, but you cannot use it. According to users, clearing the application data, reinstalling it, and rebooting the device does not solve the problem.
But still, users found two effective ways to solve the problem. The first is to install an older version. The second is to charge the smartphone while it is turned off, as the error is likely related to the recently added Ambient Mode feature.
