iPad Pro - Keyboard is Lagging

My iPad OS Version is 16.3.1 and it's a 2nd generation. The keyboard has been lagging lately. I have tried restarting, refreshing and it doesn't solve the problem. Any thought?

Have you tried a forced restart - as this will often clear an isolated performance issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
