Wi-Fi connection is slow or drops frequently
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router and your iPad mini. Go to `Settings` > `Wi-Fi`, tap the 'i' icon next to your network, and select `Forget This Network`. Then, reconnect to the network. Ensure your iPadOS is up to date and there are no obstructions between your iPad and the router.
Apps are crashing or not responding

Battery drains quickly
Adjust screen brightness to a lower level. Check `Settings` > `Battery` to see which apps are consuming the most power and consider limiting their background activity or notifications. Disable unnecessary features like 'Hey Siri' or Location Services for apps that don't need them. Ensure iPadOS is up to date.
Storage is full or running low
Go to `Settings` > `General` > `iPad Storage` to see what's using space. You can offload unused apps, delete large videos/photos, or clear app caches. Consider optimizing photos by enabling `Optimize iPad Storage` in `Settings` > `Photos`.
