I’ve noticed it in my email, YouTube, Facebook, google etc so I’d say all of them. I will try deleting and reinstalling some to see if that helps any.


If your iPad storage is not nearly full, and if there are no add-on VPN apps around, then this misbehavior might be caused by a hardware problem, and which means a discussion with Apple Support.
