If that doesn't resolve the issue, does your iPhone need updating to iOS 16.2? Do you have a recent backup for the data in your iPhone in iCloud or your computer? If not, we recommend that you create one as described here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch 

Then update your iOS as outlined here: Update your iPhone or iPad

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi guimaferreira,

Have you tested the Notes app after updating the software on your iPad? We'd like to make sure you update as this can provide bug fixes and the latest security as well as fixing this issue.

When you notice your iPad heating up, are you in a warm environment? This can cause the iPad to get warm.

We have additional information that helps explain why your iPad may get warm while using it. Take a look here:

You might notice that your device feels warmer when you:

• Set up your device the first time

• Restore from a backup

• Wirelessly charge your device

• Use graphics-intensive or processor-intensive apps, games, or features, including augmented-reality apps

• Stream high-quality video

These conditions are normal, and your device will return to a regular temperature when the process is complete or when you finish your activity. If your device doesn't display a temperature warning, you can keep using your device.

This information is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold.

Take care.
