iPad screen frozen???

iPad 12 can be locked and unlocked using the passcode on the screen but is stuck in my photos and when unlocked, nothing happens when I tap the screen. Resetting it doesn’t seem to work - it just goes black and no apple logo shows up, just seems to be locked cause it lights right back up again


pls help!!!!

Try a forced restart and see if that allows the screen to respond. There is no iPad 12, so here are instructions for any model of iPad. I assume that you have an iPad Pro, but just in case, pick which method works with your iPad.


  • iPad models that don't have a Home button: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts.
  • iPad with Home button, iPhone 6s or earlier, and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons until you see the Apple logo.
