How to fix the changing of Microsoft Edge on Android UI bug

My Microsoft Edge app on my Android Samsung Galaxy S10 has a bug where at occasion, when opening up the app, the UI features of Edge changes to different versions. Currently, it switches to two versions of an old version and the current version of Edge's UI. What I consider old version is the pinned sites on the search bar are organized in a grid and the current version is where the pinned sites can be scrolled left to right with trending searches and the new feature of dark mode for all web page. I think the cause of this is when I used an edge//flag on my android to preview the Bing chat co-pilot feature during the time where it wasn't officially out yet but the experimental was available. When I checked it out and then tried to put it back to default on the flag site, that was when it started switching between old and current UI versions of Edge. It changes when the app is closed and after a duration of inactivity before opening the app again to see its change. Currently, it mostly stays in the old version of Edge's UI. I tried resetting settings in the flag site, deleting and reinstalling edge, and clearing the app data but it still has the bug.

    Good day Melvin, thanks for your question. I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. You can check and test if this is also happening even on the version which you can download via the link below and If you will continue to experience the issue even after trying the above then you can also send a feedback to the team that is working on Edge and hopefully a fix/patch will be applied soon on the next update and you can provide a feedback from the browser itself by tapping on the 3 dots > Help and feedback or via the link below as well.
