What is Center Stage and how does it work?

How can I extend my iPad's battery life?
To extend battery life, you can lower screen brightness, enable Low Power Mode, turn off Background App Refresh for apps you don't frequently use, limit location services, and minimize streaming or graphically intensive gaming when not connected to power.
Troubleshooting
iPad won't turn on or respond.
Ensure the iPad is charged. Connect it to a power adapter and wall outlet using the provided USB-C cable for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, perform a force restart: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears.
Wi-Fi connection is unstable or slow.
Check if other devices are experiencing similar Wi-Fi issues. Restart your Wi-Fi router and your iPad. Go to `Settings` > `Wi-Fi` and tap the 'i' next to your network, then select `Forget This Network` and reconnect. Ensure your iPadOS is up to date.
Apps are running slowly or crashing.
Close unnecessary apps running in the background by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and swiping app cards away. Restart your iPad. Check your available storage in `Settings` > `General` > `iPad Storage` – if it's nearly full, delete unneeded files or apps. Ensure the app itself is updated to the latest version.
Battery drains quickly.
Adjust screen brightness (lower it if possible). Review app battery usage in `Settings` > `Battery` to identify power-hungry apps. Turn off Background App Refresh for apps you don't need constantly updated (`Settings` > `General` > `Background App Refresh`). Disable Location Services for apps that don't require it.
Center Stage feature is not working during video calls.
Ensure the app you're using supports Center Stage. Check if the feature is enabled in `Settings` > `FaceTime` or within the specific video calling app's settings. Confirm that the camera has not been restricted in `Settings` > `Screen Time` > `Content & Privacy Restrictions`.
