Why are most Google apps crashing on my iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 18.1.1?

Many Google apps (mail, maps, keep, photos) are crashing after about 30-60 seconds use. I have tried

  • uninstall reinstall app
  • power off, power on iPhone (13)
  • force restart iPhone
  • updating to 18.1.1
  • no VPN is set up in General settings


Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have a solution?

I think I found fix (thanks to this post).


I went to Gmail app:

  1. sandwich menu on top left
  2. go to bottom "settings"
  3. go "Inbox" section then "inbox personalization"
  4. click on "categories"
  5. untick all sections (notifications, social, etc) and click OK (you have to be fast because app will crash)
  6. wait few minutes
  7. go back to Gmail setting and re-tick all sections
  8. and voilà! All Google apps working as before.


Prior this, I also tried to:

  • do a force reboot (volume up, then volum down then long press on power button) --> did not work
  • remove VPN (even if not used) --> did not work
  • reset network settings --> did not work


Hope it's going to work for you guys!


PS: I'm not sure about english names in Gmail app as mine is set to French.
