[XA2, 3.3.0.16 EA] Can't open files with any android apps

I can no longer open files in 3.3.0.16 with any Android app.

Example ASCII editor: I open the editor and want to load a file. I get the dialog for sharing files instead of the file selection. This means that no file can be loaded, but only shared with another app.

The editor is just an example. With no other Android app can I open a file (pdf, txt, jpg ...). Only the file sharing dialog opens.

Is that a mistake only for me, or does anyone else have this problem?

Edit 2: Does anyone know a solution? Attaching images or files in messengers and emails is also not possible. This bug makes the phone almost unusable.
