Loading game after bedrock v26.50

Just after updating to 26.50 the game had a hard time loading. I can access the main menu and the dressing room though, the dressing room can’t load any avatars and it glitches a lot. The background scenery loads perfectly and spins as normal. When pressing any other button in the main menu it cuts to the background scene turning but without any buttons to press, as if it loading. I let it load for 20 minutes twice but it still didn’t load. I’ve tried restarting the app as well as my device, and I’ve checked that I have enough storage room on my iPad. It still does not load and I’ve tried every solution I could find through Minecraft and the bug support side as well as on Reddit, to no avail. I don’t know how to fix this bug but I can’t access Minecraft at all nor enter any worlds, realms or servers. Minecraft worked seamlessly prior to the update so I’m suspecting it’s a bug that needs fixing. Several of my friends logged on at the same time with no issue, one using the same device as I do. Please help.
