According to AppleInsider, Apple’s iOS 16.3.1 update released today has a bug that makes it incompatible with the Google Photos app, causing it to crash when enabled. If you’re using Google Photos, it’s recommended that you don’t upgrade for now.
Foreign tech media AppleInsider editors have reproduced the problem on their own iPhones, and every time they open the Google Photos app it crashes immediately.
Users who download the new app will be able to perform the login flow without crashing. Once granted access to the entire user library, the app crashed, suggesting this may be due to the way Google accesses these images.
