You don't have to roll your own crypto. You can e.g. just use libsodium which is designed to be easy-to-use and not possible to use incorrectly.

Using libsodium is good advice, but all crypto libraries can be used incorrectly.

I'd have no idea where to start securing an app against side channel hacks.

Is the memory encrypted? Should it be? Can other apps access it?

E2E might be working fine, its the ends I'd be concerned about.
