It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds and then see which one spells out success. So with that in mind, let’s get started.
FIX 1: Try Third-Party Share Sheet

If you don’t fall under that bracket, then you could try out apps such as Sharedr from Play Store.
FIX 2: Opt out of Beta
This is one of those obvious fixes that you would have seen coming from a mile. If dealing with issues at regular intervals in these beta builds is not your cup of tea, then your best course of action is to opt out of these beta versions ad revert to the stable Android 13 update. However, do note that doing so will wipe off all the data from your device. So take a backup and then refer to our guide on How to Downgrade Pixel from Android 14 to Android 13 [2 Methods] [Video].
