App freezing when attempting to copy/ paste text

I have ios 16.2 on a 14 max pro. Since the recent update, I am unable to copy any text. If I highlight the text in an attempt to coping, the app ( along with the keyboard if I am typing) will freeze. I need to close the app down before I can start typing again / scrolling again. Anyone else having this issue and know of a fix?

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Hi there mxpleslie,

Let's take a closer look to better understand what's happening, along with ruling out some general details:

Is this occurring in any app in which you try to copy text, or only a specific one?
Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone
We recommend making sure that all apps are up to date: How to manually update apps on your Apple device
We also recommend taking the steps/confirming the details in this link, starting from 'Make sure you have enough storage' here: About iOS or iPadOS performance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Cheers!
