What is what to do when ipad is frozen?

When your iPad freezes, it can be frustrating. Here's what you can do:

• Force Restart: This is usually the first and most effective method.

  • iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button (power button). Keep holding the top button until the Apple logo appears. Check out this page about Force%20Restarting%20iPad%20with%20Face%20ID.
  • iPad with Home Button: Press and hold both the Home button and the top (or side) button at the same time. Keep holding until you see the Apple logo. More about Force%20Restarting%20iPad%20with%20Home%20Button here.

• Check for Low Battery: Sometimes a frozen iPad is simply due to a dead battery. Plug it into a charger and let it charge for at least 15-30 minutes before trying to turn it on.

• Close Apps Manually: If the freeze is caused by a specific app, and you can access the app switcher, close the problematic app. Double-click the Home button (or swipe up from the bottom edge and hold on iPads without a Home button) to bring up the app switcher, then swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

• Free Up Storage: If your iPad is constantly freezing, it could be due to insufficient storage space. Delete unnecessary apps, photos, videos, and files. You can see available storage in Settings > General > iPad Storage. Find out more about Freeing%20Up%20iPad%20Storage here.

• Update iPadOS: Make sure your iPad is running the latest version of iPadOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for and install updates. Learn more about Updating%20iPadOS here.

• Reset All Settings: This will revert all your settings to their defaults, but it won't delete your data. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings. View more details about Resetting%20All%20iPad%20Settings here.

• Restore from Backup: As a last resort, if the problem persists, you can restore your iPad from a backup. This will erase all data on your iPad and restore it from a previous backup. Make sure you have a recent backup before doing this. You can restore via iCloud or a computer. Get info about Restoring%20iPad%20from%20Backup here.

• Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps work, there may be a hardware issue. Contact Apple Support for assistance.
