Text feature constantly crashing now

I’ve used GV since at least 2012 and since this latest update to iOS 11 you can no longer write a simple text without the app crashing. To avoid a mental breakdown I now compose all of my texts in notepad and paste them into the app so I can send them without losing everything I’ve written in a text. This is terribly frustrating!!!!!
