iPad 7th gen keeps closing apps and browser, why?

My iPad 7th generation keeps closing game apps and safari browser. It was bought new 11 months ago and it started doing this a few months back. I deleted the coloring app, thinking it might be causing it, but it still was closing the browser. What possibly could be causing this?

Then I am really ata loss to why this is happening.


You can try a simple 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.

See if that helps.


Good Luck!

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

What is the rated, internal data storage space model of your iPad and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?


How many active Website tabs do you leave open in a Web browser?

How many potential background running apps do you leave hanging in the background app switcher?

Thank you for your quick reply.

I have been using the latest update for the iPad which is iOS 14.4

This iPad 7th gen has 128GB of internal data and I have only used 24.3GB of the total.


Usually I have 3 tabs open in the browser at one time.

There are only 3 apps that are running in the background.

I never leave anything open running on my iPad when I am finished using it, either for a few hours or finished for the day. All apps or folders are closed.
