Whilst attempted, did you actually manage to force-restart the iPad?


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)


  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; do not release either button until...
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




When performed correctly, the iPad will restart.
