GarageBand crashes after iOS 26 update, losing unsaved work

I updated my phone to iOS 26, and can’t open garage band anymore. When I do, I get this message like normal, but if I click it the app just closes. I tried deleting and reinstalling, but I ended losing everything I didn’t have backed up to my USB, and the problem started again a few hours later. Can anyone help me with this?

Por ahora lo pude resolver abriendo una canción anterior donde tuviera ya habilitados 2 canales. Cree una copia de esa canción, la renombré y borre las pistas y Ahi pude usar todo sin problema. Incluso pude usar la app en segundo plano. Gracias a Dios estoy funcional, pude grabar, y utilizar 2 canales a la vez. iPhone 11, iOS 26.0.1. Espero sirva!!!
