Every time I try to open Minecraft Pocket Edition 1.16.0 on my IPad Pro when I'm not connected to internet the game crashes when the logo is still visible. Quite a few times even when I'm actually connected to internet but the connexion is bad (mostly during the day) the game loads until the menu but right after it logs into Xbox live the game freezes for around 2 minutes and crash.
honestly, this issue is been happening since the better together update but it never was that bad until the 1.16.0 released.
also, if my internet connexion fails mid gameplay the game freezes and I am not able play anymore.
