Help Can't share from different apps - Phone closes app

[MandyKaye75]

After I updated my LG v20 about 6 months ago, I can no longer use any share function from ANY app - camera, file manager --- even "outside" apps like sharing a property from Zillow or whatever. Anything that has the "Share" icon option. A pop-up will appear that says "Unfortunately, Android System has stopped"

Please help!

Factory reset the phone

I didn't want to do that.... But this morning I did it and it seemingly worked as I was able to share ONE THING using the share icon. However a couple hours later when I tried about it's saying the system has stopped all over again.

Your phone is 5 years old and the specs to run anything is way outdated.

Time for a new phone IMO...

It's not 5 years old, it's 2 --- and works fine except for this. Thanks for your reply.

Directly from the website :
LAUNCH
Announced 2014, July
Status Available. Released 2014, July

You may have got it 2 years ago, but trust me it was manufactured in 2014

Can you explain to me what is happening that sharing from an app is stopping the system? Like I said, it did this function fine until the last update about 6 months ago....

Most likely the update has broken the ability to share.
You can revert back to a stock image by flashing it, check the LG website for support and see if they have the stock rom available to download.

This site has what you may need.
Check to make sure you download only the rom for your particular phone or else you can brick it
