Seems that iPad is summoning up the effort needed to complete a requested action.

(Eg: Some tasks (or apps) require a lot of memory, or enough storage space)

Often it is just a matter of being patient, while iPad gets on top of the situation.


You can check memory / storage :

(ie : to see if there is enough available for smooth operation)

NB: If storage space is mostly used up:

All the best :-)
