iPadOS 16.5.1 is the current production release.


If you have iPadOS 16.6 installed, you are running a beta version - and should have full expectation of encountering bugs and other functional issues.


The Terms of Use that govern participation within the Apple Support Community disallows discussion of beta software - other than to provide information to restore production software.


Should you wish to reinstall iPadOS 16.5.1, follow this procedure:
