Applications are not working after upgrading to IOS 26.6

hello. I have upgrated my Iphone to IOS 26.6, but after that, all of the applications who are not of apple (such as photos or diary) aren't working - i saw that other people has this problem, and I have restored my IPhone. It worked for a while, but now, but now the problem is back - I can't open ant application. I have IPhone 16PRO.

I totally am experiencing issues. Safari won’t save a pdf to files it just flickers. Don’t want to remove and reinstall as I will lose all my tab groups as bookmarks are the only thing that save. Now Google Drive app won’t upload files. I tap the plus sign then browse and the upload window flickers and closes. Really not happy with the latest update and don’t know how to roll it back if you can even do that. I have followed all the instructions….allow background refresh, turn off battery saver, remove drive app, shut off ipad then reinstall. Yes I have nearly 100gb of free storage so that is not an issue. Really puts a crimp in my daily productivity when they no longer work.

I can no longer use cricut design space as when I try to upload a new design for print and cut it flickers and the upload dialogue box goes away. I removed the app, restarted iPad and then reinstalled and still doesn’t work. Safari still won’t let me download PDFs to the native files app as it just flickers and goes away so it isn’t just 3rd party apps if Safari is experiencing it as well.

iPad Pro 11” 3rd generation

Exactly how are we supposed to get any work done when our apps no longer work?
