Cannot export images from my Ipad, it causes freeze

Hi all! This is my very first post 😊

I just updated my Ipad pro to the latest version, the iPadOS 18.3.1 but it started having a big issue. I'm not able to export the images from my Ipad to any other device anymore. When I click to "share" the device freeze, the screen is blocked, even the app, and the only thing I can do is to force close the app. This is happening with exporting the images from Procreate and also with the gallery images.

I already tried to force restart my Ipad many times and also I have more than 150gb free of space. Have someone had the same issue? Any advice, please?

Thanks in advance 😊

If the problem persists after performing a forced-restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings


If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:
