IOS 16.5 Update Not Compatible with Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter??

For the latest IOS update 16.5 for my iPad it took away my ability to charge the iPad while using a Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter. Can you help me go back to the previous IOS version so that I can keep charging while using the USB feature? Or will it require a purchase of a new dongle?


iPad, iPadOS 16

Your Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter is unlikely to have failed…


Subsequent to the iOS/iPadOS 16.5 update, there is an issue with charging the iPad from USB Type-A Power Adapters, via the USB3 Camera Adapter - regardless of the Power Adapter’s power output.


The current workaround, pending a software update to fix the issue, is to use an Apple 20W (or greater) USB-C Power Adapter with a USB-C to Lightning charging cable.
