Photos app keeps cracking after updating my iPad system

After I updated my iPad system to iPadOS 26, my Photos app kept cracking every time I tried to open it. I tried multiple ways and times to fix that but it didn’t work. Today I updated the system again to iPadOs 26.0.1, hoping this update would fix the problem but it didn’t.

I hope someone could check this issue :)

How much free storage do you have on your phone? At System Settings>General>iPhone Storage mine says 52GB of 128GB used. What does yours say? Does it indicate that you have at least 10% free?


You don't say-- are you using iCloud Photos or Optimize storage?


Have you used any flaky 3rd party apps like "cleaners" or virus eaters or VPNs?
