After updating my iPad to iPadOS 15.7.1 , I am getting this display glitch when I check Settings>General>Software Update. What should be a static display of the the words "Upgrade to iPadOS 16" at the bottom of the screen keeps jumping vertically. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any thoughts on how to fix it? Here's a GIF:
After ANY iOS/iPadOS upgrade/update, you should ALWAYS perform a simple hard reset of your Apple mobile device.
For iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset/forced restart of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
OR
For much newer design iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset/forced restart procedure for the new 2018-2022 iPad Pros, 2020/21 iPad Air 4 and 5 and 2021 iPad Mini 6 models.
1. Press and release the volume button closest to the top Power button
2. Then immediately press and release the volume button farthest from the top Power button.
3. Then, press and hold the top single sleep/wake/power button You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.
Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018-2022 iPad will boot up completely to the iPad’s Lock screen.
Best of Luck to You!

One of two things has happened. Either your iPad has developed a hardware fault requiring repair, or something went wrong with the update.
Taking the optimistic view of a software issue, first ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPad - and them perform a full reset from iPad settings:
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
After resetting, begin setup from the initial “hello” screen - and when the opportunity is presented, restore your iPad from the backup.
After the backup restores, hopefully the issue that you describe will have been resolved. However, of the problem persists, a Factory Restore will be necessary - which will fully wipe the iPad and install a fresh copy of iPadOS:
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Again, perform setup from the “hello” page - and as before, restore your backup when you are invited to do so.
I’d hoped for the same. Unfortunately, two hard resets and two shutdowns & restarts haven’t cleared the issue.
Here’s another glitch since updating my iPad to iPadOS 15.7.1.
When I tap the icon in the upper right corner of Safari to show thumbnail images of all open tabs, the field on which the small tab thumbnails appear is a bright magenta with scattered confetti-style markings instead of a plain background. Note that this is not a customized Start Page background image and cannot be changed by editing the customized Start Page settings.
PS: The glitch is triggered in response to tilting movement of the iPad.
