Pages lagging in ios 17 (selecting text)
My Pages was working just fine on iPad Pro 11in (2018) before I updated to ios 17.
However, now whenever I go to select any amount of text (1k words or more) I face unbearable lag (15-30 seconds) and even the app crashing. This makes selecting portions of text quite arduous. I can still control-all, but the lag persists and I have to wait before I can format/copy/etc.
I have downgraded my iPad to ios 16 and then back to ios 17. I’ve done a fresh install. A reset. A shutdown, but to no avail.
Honestly, I would be fine just downgrading to ios16 (the lag is bad enough that it makes the iPad useless when using Pages); however, when I upgraded to ios17, a new backup was made that overwrote my old one.
Preferably, there’s a solution to this problem. If not, I hope someone can provide a suggestion for how to downgrade my iPad while being able to restore from my backup.
Thanks!
iPad Pro, iPadOS 17
