If you are having difficulties with your iPad, the recommended first step to resolving problems is to force-restart the iPad - as doing so will often resolve an isolated software issue.


To do so, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter; whist connected to external power:


  • 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 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.


Next, ensure that you have updated to the most recent version of iPadOS; at time of writing, this is iPadOS 15.1. You can verify your currently installed software version here:
