Apps on IPad (7th gen) keep crashing

Your iPad data space is very low and it is affecting the amount of apps you leave running in the background app switcher and causing them to crash!

Apps left in the background app switcher, if Web based apps, can still pull recent data in from the Web in the background!

First line defense for this issue is to go into the Settings app, under general, and toggle OFF Background App Refresh for Any apps that have to go out to the Internet to constantly refresh their data in the background.

Next, Keep Website tabs in any Web browser to comfortable minimum.

There is no need to have 100+ Website tabs open as the tabs CAN refresh in the background, even though you are not actually viewing these Website browser tabs!

Keep iOS Mail from automatically fetching Mail constantly and in the Settings app under Mail, set a time interval for Mail fetching or set the Mail app for manual mail fetching where the Mail app ONLY fetches mail at launch or when the Mail app is actually be used.

If 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 and/or some other offsite, “cloud” data storage/backup services, like Google Drive/Photos, DropBox, BOX, Amazon Cloud Drive, Flickr ( for photos/images ), 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).

Then, thin out/delete any music/videos/movies/TV shows/screen recordings/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.

iDevices need to maintain, at the very least, a minimum of between 2-3 GBs of free data storage space, AT ALL TIMES, to insure normal/nominal functionalities/operation and general overall performance of any iDevice.

Good Luck to You!

Hello,

Try resetting iPad's settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Be certain you do not select Erase All Content and Settings as this will erase all of your information. It is a good idea to perform a backup of your iPad prior to resetting its settings.

What iPad storage model do you own and how much internal, free data storage is left inside of this iPad?
