iPad OS 14.4 Scrolling isn’t smooth Does not feels like before

After updating my iPad Pro 2nd gen. OS14.4 I noticed that the smooth and fast scrolling that has before has stopped.

At the beginning of scrolling on most of apps there are something like micro-freezes, gaps, stops (don’t know the exact word in english, not completely smooth) during scrolling, it’s not very easily noticed but if you have used it before the latest update 14.4 you can definitely feel it. Scrolling isn’t smooth any more.

Most of the times after some seconds of scrolling, become again smooth, but is very annoying at the beginning.

Anyone knows how can I fix it? Thank U

You’re not the first to see this issue, introduced with iPadOS 14.4.


A system restart doesn’t appear to provide any beneficial relief from this issue. The stutter doesn’t just affect vertical scrolling, but also impacts left/right swipe - and will frequently affect one or other axis, but not both at the same time.


We remain hopeful that this issue will be resolved in a forthcoming update.


If you haven’t already done so, you should submit a bug report using the Apple Product Feedback page:

Feedback - iPad - Apple


If submitting a report, please ensure that you include model details and the installed version of iPadOS within the body-text of your report. The OS-picker often does not include the most recent versions in the list.
