Serious 5th generation iPad problems.
About one month ago, my iPad (5th generation) began having a huge delay in push notifications for iMessage. Sometimes I’ll get a notification for a text sent to me via iMessage saying it was sent several hours previously - once it was even the following day before I received the notification. And no, the messages are not there, (on iMessage), before I get the notifications They don’t show up until I get the notification of the message. Shortly after that started, my iPad began running very slow compared to what had previously been my “normal”. I have not changed WiFi service, and multiple family members also have Apple devices and are experiencing no problems of this sort. Then today, I noticed serious battery drain happening, which I’ve never had prior to this. Again, other Apple devices in the household are not experiencing the problem. My software is up to date, as is my iMessage app version, and a hard restart of my iPad has no effect on what’s going on. I’d appreciate any suggestions for tracking down the source of the problem and fixing it. Two family members are “Apple veterans”, in that they’ve had Apple devices since “the cave man days”, and have multiple Apple devices and much experience with them -one even works in the IT industry - and they don’t have a clue what the problem is nor how to remedy it. I really need some help with this. Thank you!
