Ensure that you have updated your iPad to the most recent version of iPadOS - ay time of writing, this being iPadOS 16.1.1.
If you have already updated to this version, perform a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear a post-update software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
