Yahoo mail ipad video problem

On my wonderful iPad with the current OS I am trying to send an email in Yahoo and attach a 2 min. Video. It just locks up stating “we are attempting to attach the video.” The only way I can unlock Yahoo is to shut down the iPad. When I come back to Yahoo it functions OK but keeps repeating the problem when I try to re-send the mail with the attachment.

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4

Hi Brucebigsur,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're having trouble with the Yahoo app and attaching a video to an email. I know it's important for the apps you use to function as expected; I'd like to help. I'd recommend working through each step below and testing the app after each one. If the issue persists, you may need to reach out to the app developers for further assistance:

If an app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Apple TV stops responding, follow these steps to get help.

Check for updates

Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS, watchOS, or tvOS.

Then check for app updates. For iOS and Apple Watch apps, go to the App Store on your iOS device. Tap Updates. If an update is available, tap Update. If asked, enter your Apple ID and password. You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps on your iOS device.

On your Apple TV, it's best to go to Settings > Apps and turn on Automatically Update Apps. If you don't have automatic updates turned on, you can open the App Store, go to the Purchased tab, and open an app's product page to see if an update is available.

Delete and reinstall the app

Open the App Store and redownload the app. Some apps require subscriptions for activation. If you can't activate the app or you don’t remember your sign-in information, contact the app developer.
  • Apple Watch: Open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap the My Watch tab. Scroll to the app you want to remove, then tap it. Turn off Show App on Apple Watch, and wait for it to disappear from your watch's Home screen. To reinstall the app, scroll down to Available Apps in the My Watch tab and tap Install.
