Hi, please can you check to see if your device OS is updated to latest version. Updating the OS helps to resolve the issue.

If you already have installed the lastest version, restart your device and let me know if the issue still persists. I would be glad to proffer other solutions.

It’s strange, we will further look into this.

In the interim, please can you try this workaround that also helps resolve the issue:

Well i am not willing to do \* Device reset: First do a “Reset All Settings” if the issue persists then use the “Erase All Contents and Settings” option  
i got lot of other app and file.

Hi,  
Here’s a screen recording how to drop the file into a particular folder in the file manager:

> **[RPReplay\_Final1585070853.MP4](https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQuZA1DJ)**

> This sounds like the same persistent OS bug that has been around caused by the Siri suggested sharing options. This used to happen to me. I do not have WhatsApp, however I would still have the issue. And it was intermittent. My fix was turning off the Siri suggested sharing: Settings\>Siri & Search\>Show when sharing\>OFF You may need to restart your iPad after. Although you won’t have the convenience of the suggested sharing, you should be able to share after turning off suggested sharing.
