Start here:

If your iPhone or iPad is running slow - Apple Support


If your iPad is not performing as expected, try a forced-restart - 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.




You haven’t mentioned your iPad model or its installed version of iOS/iPadOS. These may be relevant factors of the performance equation; newer models of iPad have significantly higher-performance internal hardware than older models.
