Minecraft Bedrock Edition players dealing with crashes, connection problems and weird UI behavior now have an official fix. Mojang dropped the full 26.31 hotfix changelog today spelling out exactly what changed.
Key Fixes Rolling Out

The hotfix is deploying platform by platform. If you have not received it yet check for updates on your device. The changes directly tackle issues that started appearing after the 26.31 rollout last week.
Mojang moved fast on this one. The list of fixes matches exactly what players have been complaining about on forums and Reddit since the version landed. Good to see but it also shows the base release needed this cleanup.
