App closes within 1 second

[Mrs_A]

The problem started with the Waze app so I uninstalled it and while reinstalling it asked me to check my emails but when I tried to open Gmail that also closed within 1 second of opening it. Now I can't google the problem because google app is also closing as soon as it opens. I have tried restarting my phone but no luck. I've also run Avast to check for problems and that was clear. My phone is Oppo Reno 5G (although I'm using 4G)
Please help!

My Outlook App and Amazon App both close with seconds of opening them

Half of my apps and Google is doing this! Driving me nuts

My apps have been closing in exactly the same way since the morning.
