Ipad mini games crash constantly

i got an old ipad mini for making videos for my youtube channel. i was on the app store and i saw ark on it. so i got ark but i found that ark crashes like a minute after launch. i thought the ipad was just old but i got dragon ball legends, which isnt hard to run, and the ipad still crashes on even that too. any idea why this is happening?

iPad mini, 12

What iOS version is this iPad Mini running?

What storage size is this iPad Mini?

How much internal free data storage space is left on this iPad Mini?


Some hardware/software resource intense games need to run with no other apps in the iOS background app switcher.

Have you toggled OFF Background App Refresh in the Settings app, under General?

Depending on what iPad Mini model you have, there are other iOS settings that can be turned on/off or optimised.
