my iPad freezes in Instagram recently

I have iPad 12.9 5th gen and in ios16.3 and whenever I go into Instagram, my iPad freezes. I have to close it completely and try again. Sometimes I have to just leave it and just not use Insta, but it is frustrating, especially if I have messages I want to read. This is very recent, so not sure if it could be the last update?

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi
