Need to clear ram memory regularly

Why are you closing apps? Routinely killing apps makes your phone slower and worsens battery life. No apps stay open in background. All apps except the current one are suspended using no CPU and no battery.

Here are some useful links on this subject:

You're actually causing problems by attempting to do the housekeeping in a system that you don't quite understand. The system frees up RAM as needed, remove your "cleaner" and "ram manager" apps and let the system manage itself.

Uh,

No they don't.

If Background App Refresh is still active, any apps that obtain info from the Internet STILL ger a constant stream of data sent to these apps in the background. Slowing down the device and still eating up some CPU and RAM cycles.

So, Mr. Finch’s advice is NOT quite accurate.

If you are talking about the iPad's internal data storage it is what it is.

For starters, you cannot fill up any computing device storage, even on a regular computer.

Any computing device needs a certain amount of free internal data storage space for the OS to be able to have sufficient room to do certain things that need the use of a computing device’s physical storage.

For an iOS device, like the iPad, you need to constantly maintain a MINIMUM of between 2-3 GBs, OR GREATER for iOS to still perform and function nominally well.

So, your iPad Pro is, already close to be full, even with 2 GBs as you really cannot use any more storage space.

You have a 128 GBs iPad.

The actual, practical storage for that iPad storage model is approx. between 116-118 GBs.

You need to free up free data storage space on an iPad/iDevice, you need to start by backing up your iPad to either Apple's iCloud or by connecting your iDevice to a computer running the latest iTunes or some other offsite, “cloud” data storage service, like Google Drive/Photos, Flicker ( for photo/images ) DropBox, Box, BOX, Amazon Cloud services, and similar services, etc.

Then delete any installed apps that you no longer use or use infrequently enough that they aren't missed ( you can always reinstalled any purchased or free apps at some time later, as you need them ).

Thin out/delete any music/videos/movies/TV shows/images/eBooks/eMagazine/iBooks/audio books/Documents/PDFs, etc.

If you use a POP email account on your iPad, delete/thin out any old saved emails that maybe saved to your iPad.

To permanently delete photos/images off of your iDevice go into the Photos app and find the Recently Deleted folder/album and permanently delete any photos/images stored in that folder/album.

Also, you can check to see what stuff is eating up all your valuable data storage space by going into the Settings App,,General Settings Panel, in the right hand column, tap Storage & iCloud usage panel ( in iOS 11, it’s iPad Storage ), in the top Storage Panel, tap the Manage Storage panel, wait for a list of apps to generate that will tell you how much space each app is taking up on your iDevice.

Then, do a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

Best of Luck to You!

I am saying that apps that have Background App Refresh still active are still are active in the background app switcher and are still updating data, IF they are apps the rely on getting data from the Internet.

Therefore still using some CPU and RAM cycles.

I wonder if a full reset and setup as new device would help.

If that is true then your iPad has insufficient RAM for your current workload.

You are probably going to have to upgrade to another with more RAM.

Do you have several Safari extensions installed that somehow change webpage layout before rendering the page?

How many active Website tabs do you leave up and active in Safari?

So, you're saying that I shouldn't listen to advice given by experienced computer professionals on these forums who have over 20,000 points? How many points do you have?
