removed Home Screen widgets reappearing with 16.5.1

I’m having issues with widgets I’ve previously removed from my Home Screen continually reappearing every 2-3 days and rearranging things since recently updating my iPad. Has anyone else had this problem?

If you are experiencing unexpected behaviour immediately following a system software update, 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.
