graphics and images distorted on my iPad

Hello I’m having issues with my iPad (out of warranty) the images are pixelated and it’s almost like I can see previous applications in the background of what I’m viewing (like I could see traces off an application one watching a video on YouTube)

I fully comprehend that you have attached a static image (a screenshot) derived from a media source. As perviously suggested, a forced-restart will often resolve a screen/colour rendering issue - should one occur on iPad.


If you have tried the forced-restart without success, I recommend that you ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPad - then conduct a Factory Restore:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support


This procedure will completely reset your iPad - and completely reinstall iPadOS at the most recent version that your iPad can support. At conclusion of the process, you may optionally restore your data and settings from your iCloud/iTunes backup.

The latest image does illustrate an issue. Very often, a forced-restart of the iPad will resolve an isolated issue, such a a video rendering problem.


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.



I hope this simple restart will be helpful in resolving the problem.
