If it still doesn't respond, 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.
First, restart your iPad. Then, restart your Wi-Fi router. In iPad Settings, go to Wi-Fi, tap the 'i' next to your network, and select 'Forget This Network', then try reconnecting. Ensure your Wi-Fi router supports Wi-Fi 6E for optimal performance.
Apps are crashing or freezing frequently.
Try force quitting the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (or double-pressing the home button on older models) to open the app switcher, then swipe the problematic app's card up and off the screen. If the issue persists, restart your iPad. Ensure all your apps and iPadOS are updated to their latest versions.
Battery drains quickly.
Check battery usage in Settings > Battery to identify apps consuming the most power. Reduce screen brightness, enable Auto-Brightness, turn off background app refresh for less critical apps, and disable Location Services for apps that don't need it. Reduce push email fetch frequency.
