Hey there denice105,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, is this issue occurring in specific apps, or all apps? If all apps, does restarting help with resolving the issue, even if it's just temporary? If unsure, give that a try with the steps shown here: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.
