Millions of iPhone owners warned latest update ‘breaks’ popular app
THE Google Photos app has crashed on iPhone devices with the latest software.
Apple released its newest software update, called iOS 16.3.1, on Monday – but a bug has already emerged.
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.
The update fixes an issue that could let a hacker run any commands or code of their choice on the device, which can be used to steal information.
Apple said the flaw “may have been actively exploited” and has encouraged customers to install the new update.
