I often export stl files via ‘share with’ then drive. Just updated to iOS 17 and now it takes ages to load the dialog box and when it appears it’s blank. I have tried rebooting my iPad.

Hi,

Could you try the solution here?

> 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.

Hey @Laci_K I tried the workaround you suggested and it worked for me the first time, but now I’m having the issue again, it’s really frustrating. Do you have any other suggestions?

I’m using iOS 17.2.1 on an iPhone 15.

Unfortunately no, it’s in Apple’s hands ☹

Oh that’s annoying, hope they can fix it in the next release.
