My Magic Keyboard will no longer work on my iPad Pro after the latest update which I believe is 16.5.1. Tried almost everything. Any ideas? The latest update is also causing my iPad to reset during app startups. It’s like my whole iPad is falling apart. It just keeps resetting then it will be fine. Tried a hard reset already.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
If you are experiencing issues immediately following a system software update, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear post-update software issues:
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:
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.
Remove the iPad from the Keyboard - and carefully/gently clean the smart connector contacts on both the iPad and keyboard with a soft pencil eraser (a drafting-film eraser is ideal). Ensure that the contacts on both iPad and keyboard are dirt and dust free - and all debris from the eraser have been removed - before reconnecting the two.
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

Already tried that more than once. Nothing changes.
Thanks but still no luck. It’s not the only issue I am experiencing since the update but it’s the most annoying. It’s just very odd how all of the sudden these issues have appeared.
