LOCATIONS TABS disapperas in FILES and in every IOS IPAD app

I've go a new IPAD used for music aids. Very often it hangs and next LOCATION tab on the left vertical toolbar disappears. This happens in FILES, in GarageBand and in any other IPAD app that should let you select a file to load. So I cannot load and browse files in IPAD, in ICLOUD and in other data file sources. I have to reboot my IPAD, and I realized that its reboots seems too slow. Is there any workaroud?

How do I access the "On My iPhone" folder within the Files app on iPhone? Hi everyone, I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue when trying to access the "On My iPhone" location within the Files app. Sometimes, when I try to open this folder or save a file to it, the app freezes or becomes unresponsive. This can happen also when I try to move or download files from my app OneDrive. The issue is sometimes temporarily avoided if I manually open the "On My iPhone" folder before performing any file operations, which seems to "wake up" the storage path. Does anyone is facing this problem? (iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18.5) [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPad Files and Setting Apps Extremely Slow Response Times For some time now (months) my iPad has had extremely slow response times in the Files app and one of the Settings settings. In the Settings app, Safari > Advanced > Website Data almost always can’t display any websites. I’ve waited as long as a full half hour with the spinning cursor, with no results. A couple times in the past couple days it did display the websites, and did it very quickly, but that was after numerous failures over the past few months. Around a half hour later I tried it again and it failed to find any websites. For the Files app, the response has become generally slower over time. I keep all but a handful of my files in “On My iPad”, so there is no network access involved. It started out with tapping on a file, which would not immediately open. Now I often see no files at all or no files in some folders. The files are still there, Files is just unable to display them in a timely fashion. Even when I can see the files listed, I still often still have a problem opening them. I’ll be able to open that problem file a long time later. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might cause this? What I’ve done thus far: forced quit the apps. shutdown and restarted my iPad, many times to no avail. backed up my iPad. Things I haven’t tried yet: I’ve read that Files app issues might be resolved by deleting the app and reinstalling it via the App Store. That of course would delete my files, which I would need to restore from backup. But I’m not convinced that it is simply a Files app issue, because of that Settings app problem. I’ve also read that setting the iPad back to factory settings could possibly help. But iPad backups omit a lot of 3rd party data, so I don’t want to do this unless absolutely necessary.
