Update OneNote and Clear App Cache
Updating to the latest version and clearing temporary files is the most effective way to resolve rendering and insertion glitches in mobile apps.
Corrupted cache files or outdated app builds can interfere with how media is processed and displayed on Android devices. This solution addresses both common root causes.
Open the Google Play Store on your Xiaomi Pad 6, search for 'Microsoft OneNote', and tap the 'Update' button if a newer version is available.
Navigate to your tablet's Settings > Apps > Manage apps. Scroll to find OneNote, tap on 'Storage', and select 'Clear cache' at the bottom of the screen.
Press and hold the power button on your Xiaomi Pad 6 and select 'Restart'. Once rebooted, launch OneNote and try inserting an image into a new page.
Reinstall the OneNote Application
If basic troubleshooting fails, a fresh installation will replace any missing or heavily corrupted app files causing the image insertion error.
