What is what to do when your ipad is frozen?

If your iPad freezes, here's a breakdown of what you can do:

• Force Restart: This is usually the first and most effective solution. How you force restart depends on your iPad model:

  • iPad with Home Button: Press and hold both the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Home%20Button" target="_blank">Home Button</a> and the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Power%20Button" target="_blank">Power Button</a> (top or side button) simultaneously. Keep holding until you see the Apple logo.
  • iPad without Home Button: Quickly press and release the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Volume%20Up%20Button" target="_blank">Volume Up Button</a>, then quickly press and release the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Volume%20Down%20Button" target="_blank">Volume Down Button</a>, then press and hold the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Power%20Button" target="_blank">Power Button</a> (top button). Keep holding until you see the Apple logo.

• Check for Updates: An outdated operating system can sometimes cause freezing. Once your iPad is back on, go to Settings > General > <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Software%20Update" target="_blank">Software Update</a> and install any available updates.

• Close Apps: If the freezing seems to happen when using a specific app, try closing it. Double-click the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Home%20Button" target="_blank">Home Button</a> (if your iPad has one) or swipe up from the bottom of the screen (if it doesn't) to access the app switcher. Then, swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

• Free Up Storage: A full storage can cause performance issues, including freezing. Go to Settings > General > iPad Storage to see how much space you have left and delete any unnecessary files, photos, or apps.

• Check Battery Health: If your battery is severely degraded, it could contribute to freezing. Go to Settings > Battery > <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Battery%20Health" target="_blank">Battery Health</a>. If it says "Service Recommended," consider getting the battery replaced.

• Reset All Settings: This will reset your settings to their defaults but won't erase your data. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Reset%20All%20Settings" target="_blank">Reset All Settings</a>.

• Restore iPad (Last Resort): If nothing else works, you may need to restore your iPad to its factory settings. Warning: This will erase all data on your iPad, so make sure you have a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Backup" target="_blank">Backup</a> before proceeding. You can restore your iPad through iTunes (on a computer) or through Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content and Settings.
