My iPad keeps on turning itself on and going into an app

I’ve tried resetting my iPad, waiting for it to die, trying to press the home button, trying to scroll, and trying to press on a different app quickly before it opens to the same app, but every single time it goes to the same “Ray-Ban Stories” app and it won’t let me out unless I turn the iPad off completely, which then the iPad will turn itself on and go straight into the app, this even happens when I reset the iPad.

Have you tried deleting the offending App from your iPad?

Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


After deleting the App, perform a forced-restart:

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.
