If that doesn't resolve the issue, does your iPad and iPhone need updating to iOS 16.3? Do you have a recent backup for the data in your iPhone and iPad 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 - Apple Support

Then update your iOS and iPadOS as outlined here:  Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

Be aware that iPadOS 16.3 is current. If your iPad is running iPadOS 16.2, you should update to the new version.
