Why do browsers keep freezing on my iPad Pro M4?

The iPad Pro M4 has one of two RAM configurations - determined by your chosen storage option.

iPad Pro M4 with 1TB or 2TB internal storage have 16GB RAM; other models have 8GB RAM - which should be sufficient for even the most demanding browsing tasks. If you are experiencing resource exhaustion, something else may be the cause. How many browser tabs are simultaneously open?

If your iPad is not operating as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software 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.

If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings

If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:

Any add-on VPN apps, add-on ad-blocking extensions, or any other add-on security or add-on maintenance apps?

If so, remove all of those, and test again.

How many tabs do you have open at the same time? Are you absolutely sure? If you are using Chrome or Brave it is not an Apple problem; contact the support for those products.
