Cannot attach photos to gmail

Last night I did an update to 14.1 and now when I am writing an email in gmail I cannot attach a photo. Sometimes one works but most times tapping on the photo does nothing. Like the screen is dead.


I can select from photos and attach to email but not when starting with an email.


I have restarted a number of times and no luck. It is driving me crazy because I use this a lot. I have checked the settings and gmail has access to all photos.


is there a fix for this?

To get started, are you using the Gmail app or Mail app with your Gmail account?
