So I’m still on iPados 16.1.1.
Google photos crashes immediately when accessed.
I noticed its a known issue for iOS 16.3.1 and a fix is coming.. however I’m not on that patch so clearly it’s not 16.3.1 that’s specifically causing the issue?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
If you have not updated to iPadOS 16.3.1, deleting and re-installing the Google Photos App may resolve the immediate problem.
After deleting the Google Photos App from your iPad, you should perform a forced-restart before reinstalling the App from the Apple App Store.
App deletion:
Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Forced Restart:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

Im not using 16.3.1
The problem seems google photos itself.
Im on 16.1.1.
So explain that?
There are multiple reports of issues with Google Photos subsequent to installing iOS/iPadOS 16.3.1. No doubt Google will issue an update to their App relatively quickly.
The iOS/iPadOS 16.3.1 update patches a security vulnerability for which an active exploit exists.
Delete the app and then reinstall. Started working again
Google photos crashing, not using 16.3.1
