IOS 13.3 Mail App - Share menu not working

Using the mail app I have always been able to AirPrint email attachments, via the share menu. Now when I open the attachment (which are predominantly .xlsx and .docx) and click the share button it opens and then immediately closes/crashes... thus I am unable to AirPrint.


Anybody else experience the same issue and have a solution?


Device is a iPad Pro

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

Hello there,


I had this problem with a user this morning on iPhone XI when clicking the 3 dots option within the share menu.


I was able to bypass it though by doing the following:


  1. Hold down on the attachment until it's own sub menu appears
  2. Click the share button
  3. From there I was able to click the 3 dots to choose more apps to open my attachment with
  4. Click edit
  5. Find the app you want to open this attachment with and click the + button to add to your favourites
  6. Now when you click on this type of attachment in the future and click the share menu, your app should appear in the first menu and you won't have to click the 3 dots
