Did you try app battery usage unrestricted and disable manage app if unused.

Huge improvements on Android version. Audio now works. Image upload previews with compression is really sweet. Best of all is the expanding chatbox. Great job 🥳

Linux is the easiest way to extend the life of old hardware, sometimes bringing performance to like new levels.
