Ipad won’t swipe

My Ipad won’t swipe and I tried to power down but I can’t swipe. I held it for 30 seconds and still nothing. Help!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Force Restart:


  • Tap and quickly release the volume up button
  • Then tap and quickly release the volume down button
  • Then press and keep holding the top power button (keep holding past the swipe to power off) until you see the Apple Logo, then let go


You won't have to swipe at all and your iPad will restart completely.


See if you can swipe after you sign back in with your Passcode.
