Apple notes lagging and disappearing

I'm running iPadOS version 16.3.1 with a gen. 2 apple pencil. After updating to the latest iPadOS, the notes app is extremely glitchy and lagging. I've never had a problem with the app and it's my go-to for work. I've tried disconnecting my pencil, restarting the iPad, closing all apps and making sure I'm on the latest operating system. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm hoping Apple comes out with a bug fix for this as I usually use the app for hours at a time but lately it's been nothing but problems. The added pencil options are great but not at the expense of usability.

iPad Pro (5th generation)

Hello Hulmerus,


This page can help provide some steps and suggestions that can help with the iPad running slowly: If your iPhone or iPad is running slow - Apple Support


If your device is low on storage, iOS or iPadOS automatically frees up space while installing an app, updating iOS or iPadOS, downloading music, recording videos, and more. iOS or iPadOS only removes items that can be downloaded again or that aren't needed anymore.
You can check your device's storage in Settings > General > [Device] Storage. For best performance, try to maintain at least 1GB of free space. If your available storage is consistently less than 1GB, your device might slow down as iOS or iPadOS repeatedly makes room for more content.

Turn off Low Power Mode
Low Power Mode is an iPhone and iPad feature that extends battery life by reducing the amount of power that your device uses. In Low Power Mode, some features are turned off and some tasks might take longer to complete. If your battery icon is yellow, Low Power Mode is on.

• A touch screen that responds to taps incorrectly can make your device seem slow. If you think that your touch screen isn't responding correctly, try restarting your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch. If that doesn't work, and the issue occurs in the same area of the screen in multiple apps, you might need to contact Apple Support.


Cheers.
