After some more research, I’ve found a discussion where other mobile developers are having the exact same issue.
It’s a bug in Samsung’s Android 14 version, which makes sense. The community page’s code in Sober Time has not been updated, but the issue started appearing.
For now, it’s Samsung’s “fault”, but I’ll try to find a workaround.
Samsung is updating its UI like crazy. First, I thought it would be a good thing, but with every update, I lose more functions that I need and get functions I would never use.
Thank you for taking care of it! Much appreciated!
Okay!
I managed to implement a workaround, so the issue is resolved for now. I will try to publish this update tomorrow. There are a few other small issues I want to include in the update and I want to make sure everything is working well.
Basically:
The workaround will reload your current page when you switch back to Sober Time. You’ll see the loading animation briefly.
Thank you to everyone who helped with reports, questions and information. I appreciate it.
At this point I’ve gotten so used to having to close/reopen the app each time I don’t even think twice about it, but I do hope it all works out in the end. Thank you for working so hard on this issue, and everything else you do to keep our community up and running 
Wow! Im excited to get the workaround because im bouncing back and forth between apps. @Robin i truly appreciate your attention to this. Thanks for all you do!
The new version is now live on both stores. Check it out and let me know if it’s better.
I downloaded the update and the workaround seems to work. The app automatically reloads. Thanks
It works! Thank you so much!
@Robin now those on Android can’t upload pics. I’ve seen multiple people post about it on other threads.
Did this work around affect uploads?
Yes, this just happened to me. I was able to last night just fine but I just tried in the meme thread and couldn’t. I opened a reply box. It let me go into my photos and choose one but when I clicked it, it showed the loading screen and then my box was gone 
Hmm this is likely a side effect of the workaround, since you’re switching out of the app and back into it. I’ll fix it in the next update.
Seems like a lot of folks that are having this issue have Androids, and sure enough, that’s what I have too. Kinda sheds some light on things.
Not Androids in general, just Samsung devices. But it’s a very specific thing.
Yes, that’s what I have: a Samsung phone.
Okay, I managed to fix it so that it doesn’t end up on the white screen and it still works with uploads. As an added bonus: you won’t have to sit through the reload animation anymore either.
Samsung apparently is releasing an official fix for this by the end of March, but we can’t wait that long.
I’ll release the update in the next day. Thanks again!
I sent the update to Google Play for review. It should be available to everyone soon.
The update for this is now available on the Google Play store, so go ahead and download it to get the fix.
