Apps Stopped Working After Latest Android 8.0 Update

Hey guys! So today I have updated my Note 8 from Nougat to Oreo. And now multiple apps including Snapchat, Spotify and Instagram have stopped working. When I will open the app it only loads a blank screen on the start up and closes itself automatically after a while. Any idea how do I fix it?
 
Have you tried clearing the app's cache? Or, if that doesn't work, reinstalling (try that with the one which has least risk of data loss and see whether it helps, rather than doing them all). Or maybe check that no important settings (such as app permissions) have been changed during the update?

I've never used Snapchat or Instagram, but can confirm that Spotify works with 8.0 and 8.1 (on a Pixel rather than a Note 8) so it's not Oreo itself that's the problem.
 
But do you think that those apps don't work on Oreo? The three named are very common apps, so I imagine they have tens or hundreds of thousands of users on Oreo. In fact I've never used Spotify on any other android version (and so can confirm personally that it works with Oreo).
 
Perhaps note 8 has some things with its own OS that need to be adjusted for Oreo.

As an example, the infinity display may not work with many apps due to the aspect ratio of the note 8.
 
Quick Update: I've uninstalled all the malfunctioning apps and reinstalled the latest version from Play Store and they have been running smooth. Thanks for all the responses, really appreciated the help :)

Thanks a lot for your solution bro! :)
