iPhone and iPad users trying to access Google Photos have reported having issues on social media.
The app is crashing constantly after downloading the update, they said.
“#GooglePhotos is crashing upon opening the app after updating to the new #iOS16.3.1 update,” said one tech savvy Twitter user.
Another said: “Oh look another damn bug from iOS 16, this new update has broken Google Photos, Apple really needs to get there s*** together with iOS 16 updates, one bug after another.”
There is not yet a fix.
People who use Google Photos have been advised not to update.
However, the iOS update has patched up a key vulnerability.
It means users will have to choose between accessing their Google Photos app or risk their phones’ security and privacy being exploited.
