Hi Portia Matlabe,
As per the description, it seems like when you try to use the Track Change feature from Review tab in your Word app on mobile phone, it will make the app automatically close.
If my understanding is correct, I have tried to deploy the test for you on a Android phone where the Word app version is 1.0.1(16.0.18227.20088) and it seems like the Track Changes works fine. So may I know if you are having the same version?
If the issue persists after the Word reinstallation, since there has no other troubleshooting options for end users on Word Mobile app, there may have less suggestions I can provide you here as a community moderator. However, to make sure you can get the dedicated support from engineers that can make remote sessions to collect the Word crash backend logs from your phone and investigate the cause of the app close after using Track Changes and prevent this from happening again, I suggest you contact the Microsoft online support team where engineers there can use more support resources for your scenario:

Please correct me if I made any misunderstanding or if there have anything else I can do for you.
I appreciate your time and patience on checking my reply. Hope you stay well and safe!
Best Regards,
Mia
