Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Hi is it only me that external support stops working on iPadOS 16.1? After update from 15.7 to 16.1 on my iPad Air 5 (m1) my usb-c - hdmi adapter stops working and I have zero option to use external display. I can only use AirPlay nothing more. Yet another "future"?

If you have this same problem, please give your feedback to Apple:
They will only fix the bug in upcoming iPadOS versions if they receive enough complaints about the issue. That’s what I’ve been said by Apple Care support staff.
Ok, looks like sadly I`m not the only one.
I`m aware that Stage Menager is unsupported on external display yet. But standard screen mirroring stops working sadly :(
Exactly same thing here with my iPad Air 4th gen!
I even tried restoring my iPad to factory settings but it didn’t work either.
Hope this is fixed in the next iPadOS version release.
Finally with iPadOS 16.2 it’s been fixed!
