If you are experiencing unexpected changes to functionality after performing a system software update, you should perform a forced restart - as this will usually clear an isolated or post-update 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.




Be aware that the current version of iPadOS is iPadOS 16.5.1 - or for older devices, iPadOS 15.7.7. If you haven’t already done so, you should update as soon as practicable - as this update includes both functional and essential security updates.
