My Pokémon game crashed and I’m afraid to uninstall and reinstall. I am at level 32 and do not want to lose anything. What should I do?

Reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue! Tried all kinds of combos with rebooting phone etc – nothing works.

I am still having trouble after the new update. The app is still immediately crashing. when trying to open. I have deleted and reinstalled and restarted my phone numerous times. I can, however, open my account on someone else’s phone. What’s wrong with my phone?
