AI STUDIO I can’t upload PDF file through my local Iphone storage

I am experiencing an issue uploading PDF files to AI Studio through Google Chrome on iOS. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro, and both iOS and all my apps are fully updated.

I have already tried clearing the browser cache and browsing data, but the issue still persists.

This problem started three days ago. Before that, I was able to upload PDF files directly from my local storage without any issues. However, now AI Studio refuses to upload PDF files from local storage. The only workaround is to upload the PDF to Google Drive first and then select it from Google Drive, which works normally.

I tested the same Google account on Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, and PDF uploads from local storage work correctly there. The issue appears to be specific to Google Chrome on iOS.

I prefer not to switch to another browser because I rely on Google Chrome across multiple devices, and its synchronization features make managing my data much easier.

Please investigate and fix this issue.

Thank you.
