ios 16.1

is it possible to return to ios 15? 16 is giving me weird problems. 1) Pages doesn’t run as well as it did in 15. 2) the ipad is difficult to turn on and log in to, I have to press the home button a couple of times before I can type my password into the box


not happy with this update at all and I need to regress to 15

iPad, iPadOS 16

Apple doesn't support downgrading.


Three basic troubleshooting steps to perform (test after each attemp):


A) Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions:--> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


B) Check your battery status in Settings>Battery>Battery Health>Maximum capacity. If it is close to 82-80%, have it replaced.


C) If the issue persists, something could have gone wrong during the latest update procedure.

I would try to install a fresh copy of iOS/iPadOS. To do this, create a full backup of your iPhone/iPad (1), then restore it to factory settings (you need a computer to perform this step) and, in the end, set it up as new (2).

When done, restore data from your previously made backup (3).

Follow the instructions provided in these support articles:

(1) How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch – Apple Support

(2) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

(3) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


If the issue still persists, contact Apple Support directly using this link:--> Get Support or, even better, make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
