With the current (8.55.1) version of the Twitter app for iOS, there is an easy way to freeze the app. This happens if the user selects the three ellipses and a profile banner at the same time.

Here's a video of the problem:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Inside the Twitter iOS app select any user

2. From any user's profile page, select the "..." and tap on the profile banner at roughly the same time

Result: Selecting the ellipses and the profile banner photo of any user freezes the app

Expected: Select the ellipses "..." and the profile banner photo from any user should not freeze the Twitter iOS app
