iPad is slow to repond

When viewing articles on my apple iPad the scrolling is slow to move. It locks up at times and when closing icons it is slow to respond.

Try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this may clear an isolated software or performance 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.
