Glitching.

Does anybody know why the iPad Air glitches in the notes app. The screen will flash on and off, black splotches appear, screen will turn green and back to normal, also number and letters lag disappear and reappear. It happens when it wants but it’s often. When I’ve been on it for longer then 15 minutes it starts to act up more.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Hello Melissa_51,


Does this only occur in the Notes app or after 15 minutes of using the iPad? We ask because this sounds like it could be potentially hardware related. You could isolate this further using another app for this length of time.


This could be related: If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad


Do you use iCloud Notes or sync with another syncing service for notes (Google, etc.)?

You can check in the following location for iCloud Notes:


  1. Go to the Settings app
  2. Tap on [Name]
  3. Tap on iCloud
  4. Scroll down to Notes


If it's checked, then it's enabled for iCloud Notes.


Let us know how it goes, take care.
