After updating Minecraft Bedrock to version 1.21.132 on Android, the game shows severe graphical corruption.
Large square/checkerboard artifacts cover the screen, including menus and world view.
Before this update, version 1.21.131 worked correctly on this device.
After updating to 1.21.132, the issue appeared.
Reinstalling the game does NOT fix the problem.
No resource packs, shaders, mods, or texture packs are installed.
This is an official Google Play Store version.
