Touch Sensivity with ios 16.5.1

After installing ios 16.5.1, I am having touch sensitivity problems. I sometimes need to tap, tap, tap before it registers. Other times it will not register at all. I then reload page and try again. Is this a common problem? Is there a workaround? I would so love for these upgrades to actually work without wrecking my ipad and iphone!

If you are experiencing performance or other issues since performing a system software update, try a forced restart - as this 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.




If you continue to experience difficulties, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.


Alternatively, 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:
