Apps freeze in 15.0.2 - is a fix on the way?

This is the worst iOS ever. This is the first time I've ever had so many problems with an Apple update. Apps freeze. App icons get moved to different screens (most notably, the Photos icon, just disappeared from my home screen after the update). And the Safari "tiled" presentation is horrible. Scrolling through open tabs was much much easier.

Thumbs down, Apple!

iPad Pro freezing - help/advice requested About 2 weeks ago the iPad started to have temporary freezes on opening new Safari tabs/webpages. Have now noticed that it happens whenever there is a text field available anywhere in the app/screen. For instance, when using Safari, the freezing is for the app only and will last somewhere between 30 seconds and several minutes. When it does release the iPad behaves perfectly normally again. Whilst in Safari the screen is completely inactive it is possible to return to the iPad home screen and open other apps e.g., Mail. It's a 250Gb model and there is over 200Gb of free space available. Have turned off scribble for the Pencil. Software up to date - 14.5 (was having this trouble before the update) Any suggestions thanks.

App Store keeps crashing All of a sudden, on my 3rd Gen 12.9" iPad Pro, running iPadOS 16.1.1 (20B101), the App Store app crashes every time I try to start it. I cannot update my existing apps, nor install anything new. I click on the icon, see the window frame, it spins for a second or two, then just exits. I've tried restarting my iPad several times, but that doesn't help. Is anyone else experiencing this problem on 16.1.1 or know of a workaround or fix? Did Apple just break the App Store on iPad 16.1.1? (This is the latest iPadOS.)

The App Tabs on my iPad 8th Gen Won’t Close! So… I was just messing around on photos and opened Safari on the side. When I try closing the other app tabs, it just lags. Even shutting down the iPad doesn’t seem to work. Please give me some resolutions to fix this problem. Does anybody have this problem or is it just me? P.S I have owned this iPad since around mid 2021, it is on iPadOS 16.6 (according to settings), 128GB in General Storage and 200GB in Icloud Storage. I also have troubles switching apps when double clicking my home button. This has never happened before.
