Issue with adding on the Dynamic Island

When I add a photo to my Dynamic Island it keeps showing that it’s loading. It doesn’t go away. Can you fix this issue please.

Super App

Die App ist wirklich sehr gut. Man muss sich nichts für das Dynamic Island Design irgendetwas kaufen oder ein Abo abschließen 🙏🥳🥳

Bugged

Won't let me use it to open apps or run shortcuts. If I try to create a shelf to do those things as soon as I try to pick one it closes out before I can pick one.
