Twirling on iPad since upgrading to iOS 15

Why is the Apple thingy twirling constantly on my iPad six generation since I upgraded to iOS 15? How do I get it to stop!?! I have tried using Siri to ask it a question as some have mentioned, but that hasn’t worked. It is very annoying and draining my battery. Any suggestions? Thank you for any help you may give to me.

iPad, iPadOS 15

I believe you may be describing the network activity indicator at top right of the screen.


Having updated your iPad, you would be well advised to perform 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.
