IOS 16.3.1 is causing problems

Loading sites is taking a long time and pictures within emails are not showing up/downloading—?? I hate this new update! Tried to remove and it won’t do it. Anyone else having problems?

Presumably you have recently installed the iPadOS 16.3.1 update - and are since experiencing performance issues.


If you haven’t already done so, perform a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software 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.



If difficulties persist after the forced-restart, try reset your Network Settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings
