For a couple of updates already I've been noticing this behavior on my Android phone. Telegram support has been silent unsurprisingly, so I've considered opening an issue directly on github, but repo for android client doesn't allow this. I'm out of ideas how to bring attention to this, because I know other android users with the same issue so it's not user-specific

— Do not use checkboxes and radio buttons in cells. Due to the complex xml structure and internal layers coloring, simple initialization of the checkbox on old phones took a very long time. As a solution, either use the checkbox images (but then they will be without animation), or use a custom checkbox, as for example telegram uses https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/Components/CheckBoxSquare.java Made by analogy on kotlin: https://github.com/ivan200/buyer/blob/master/app/src/main/java/app/simple/buyer/util/views/CheckBoxSquare.kt
