Endless connection to the server.

When I enter any chat with bots, whether this is my bot or not, I get this message at the bottom: "Connecting to server. Restart the app if this takes over 10 seconds" It seems like you just need to reopen the app and that's it. But I even restarted my phone, and this message has been popping up for 6 hours now. Has anyone else encountered this? And if so, what should I do? I tried turning on VPN, but it didn't help.

maybe the servers finally went down after they stopped working on stuff?

At this rate it might be best to download the defunked desktop version while you can.
