Problems with ios 26.2 on my ipad Pro 11”.

I am having numerous problems since updating my ipad Pro 11” to ios 26.2. This is the worse update I have ever had. Usually I don’t have issues with updates, and if there are issues, Apple very quickly sends us a fix or new update to fix the problems. Why haven’t we received any fixes yet for ios 26.2? Has anyone found any fixes yet? Is there any possible way to go back to previous version which I think was iow 18?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 26

I have been having horrible issues with my second gen iPad Pro since iOS 26 update. Barely get 4 hours of use now and the iPad randomly shuts off once the battery gets to 10 percent. Restart it and battery reads 50 percent then shuts off again and back to 10.

i waited a well after the latest update and no better so it is not the reindexing process.

I updated to 26.2.1 hoping they addressed it there but that does not seem to be the case. Also tried clean installs an no improvement.

great device until iOS 26.


As described, your iPad battery may have a fault, or may be reaching the end of its usable life. If the battery has failed or is failing, the iPad may unexpectedly turn-off - or may not successfully boot to a running state even when connected to its Power Adapter.


Are you able to use the iPad while remaining connected to your Power Adapter? If yes, while monitoring the indicated battery state, disconnect the Power Adapter; if the indicated battery state suddenly falls, or the iPad shuts-off, this test demonstrates the iPad battery having reached the end of its usable life:

If you continue to experience difficulties, you will need to seek assistance directly from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test of your iPad. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively 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:
