How do I update iPadOS?

Troubleshooting

iPad Air won't turn on

Press and hold the top button (which includes Touch ID) until the Apple logo appears. If it doesn't respond, connect it to a power adapter and outlet for at least 15 minutes, then try again.

Slow Wi-Fi performance

Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart your router and your iPad Air. Check if other devices on the network are experiencing similar issues. Confirm your router supports Wi-Fi 7 or at least Wi-Fi 6E for optimal performance.

Apple Pencil not connecting or responding

Ensure the Apple Pencil is charged and properly paired. Try unpairing and re-pairing the Pencil through Bluetooth settings. Restart your iPad Air.

Apps crashing or freezing

Force quit the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing in the middle, then swiping the app card up. If the issue persists, try deleting and reinstalling the app. Ensure iPadOS is up to date.
