I did the update and now my touch capacity is wonky and doesn’t always work. I closed down my iPad and still it’s laggy and wonky, freezing all the time. Is there a fix?

I have an iPad Pro, completed the most recent upgrade and now the touch capacity is wonky. It only works intermittently. It was difficult to type this and mak a full sentence since letters go missing.

iPad, iPadOS 14

Try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often resolve an isolated software issue:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.




Note:  If iPad still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen. Or if your iPad isn’t working correctly after you restart it, see the iPad Support website.
