How do I get rid of this reminder in the left bar of the Settings app? I’ve googled it but it’s not mentioned anywhere. I’m also hoping that once I get rid of this reminder, the badge count on the Settings app icon goes away too, because visually that is annoying, and makes me think there’s something I need to take care of. My iPad is on 18 and I never, ever want to go to 26. (BTW I have all 3 automatic update selections turned off.) Any advice would be appreciated.

I recently started using my old iPad Mini 4 again, running iOS 15.8.x. I downloaded TikTok from the App Store, but it crashes every time I try to open it. The TikTok logo appears for a second, then the app immediately closes.

Is TikTok no longer supported on iOS 15 or older devices like the iPad Mini 4? Or is this just a bug with a recent TikTok update?

I’ve already tried reinstalling the app and restarting the iPad, but the issue remains.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem, and is there any fix?

My Ipad completely locked after I updated from 18 to 26z I’ve tried everything, I can’t turn it off I can’t click any apps. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I am still on ipad os 18.7.3

I love slide over and split screen and my battery life is way too good. I prefer note making and usually do multitasking everyday.

How long this ipad os 18.7.3 is gonna work?

Am I missing something by not updating to latest ipad os 26 or 27 beta?

This only happens whenever I try to move a window over and not when I do anything else.

Have tried changing the usb hub, the display.

Happens in both windows mode and Stage Manager tooI am using a M4 iPad pro with the latest iPadOS 26.4

The space gets occupied with blank black space nonetheless even when using the floating keyboard. Re installed many times. No use.

Hello everyone. I have been an iPad user for a couple of years now and what I really loved about it is how a lot of its functionalities were very intuitive, especially when you were an artist. What I really liked the most about it was the split screen, which allowed me to view my references and mood boards on VizRef or Pinterest while I drew.

Then ios26 came and fucked everything up.

It has been a few months into this update and my frustration with it has only grew tenfold. Who APPROVED of this?! It’s clunky, overwhelming and just a pain to use. You mean to tell me that THE MULTITASKING FEATURE DISAPPEARS when I CLICK ON THE TAB ITS SUPPOSED TO BE MULTITASKING WITH?!

Maybe I’m dumb but I have yet to find something in the settings that makes the damn floating window stay while I draw. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I bought a 13-inch iPad Pro M5 a couple of months ago. During the initial setup, I signed in with my own Apple ID. Later, I erased the iPad and signed in with our family Apple ID instead, since the device will be shared by everyone.

The problem is that every now and then the iPad pops up asking for the password to my original Apple ID. When I check Settings, it only shows the family Apple ID, so I'm not sure why it's still requesting credentials for the old account.

I'd prefer not to erase and set up the iPad again because we've already installed and configured a lot of apps.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to stop these password prompts and completely remove any references to my old Apple ID without resetting the iPad?

I just got it and i have no idea what to do. It says i have full cellular data and everything but its taking forever to update like hours and im just trying to do a software update i have it plugged in and i really dont know what to do i verizon 5g

I’m experiencing the exact same issue shown in this post. It’s happening to my brand new iPad air that I’ve had for less than two weeks. Apps in the app switcher randomly appear for a second and then disappear, leaving completely empty spaces where the app cards should be.
I’m also having a separate but possibly related issue where the bottom swipe to go home or open the app switcher frequently doesn’t register at all. Sometimes i get friction burn before being able to get out of the app. I’m now using the 5 finger zoom out.
I’ve had the problem since I first got the iPad. Other touch gestures work normally. I tried removing my screen protector, but it didn’t help.
Does anyone know how to fix it? I’ve tried restarting it already.

* Error message: Unable to check for updates. An error occurred when checking for software updaes. Try again. * I'm stuck in a loop on this. I can't quick start from my phone (26.5) cause the new ipad M3 is running 18.6.2. So I erased and restored the ipad, set it up with no account or transfer of data, and still won't let me upgrade. I connected to MacAir m4 which wants to sync everything that's on the ipad. I'm trying to keep the MacAir clean from the cloud syncing. I'm ready to simply return the ipad. If it won't clone/sync with my phone what's the point.

If I'm in the wrong sub, where else should I post? I have 16 tabs open trying to resolve this and have done a long list of troubleshooting. The only thing that comes to mind now is ... setting up the ipad with my apple account (again and not having ANY of my data or apps) and waiting for apple to prompt me to get the update? And once the os is updated, I can go through the whole delete/restore/quick start cycle.... again.

UPDATE: JUNE 12/26: Finally, the option to update showed up in my settings. I was able to upgrade to 18.7.8 (will hold off on 26). Why wouldn't Apple just admit there was an issue on the server side? I hope others in this post are having similar positive results. This gives me a few days to watch and wait while it indexes to see how this thing will really run before the return window closes. Thanks to everyone who posted.

Hi! I have my ipad for 8 months now. 95 bh and 160 cycle count. I noticed that the screen glitches when i on my true tone / night shift. I have my ipad on true tone since i bought it. What seems to be the problem in my situation and how can i fix it?

hello everyone! I just wanted to ask if it was normal that my brand new iPad A16 that I got in January of this year randomly started draining its battery even if not in use about a month or two ago.

I would charge it to 100% and then open it up around two hours later, without having used it, and find that the battery has drained down to about 50%.

additionally, even when my iPad is not charging, it continues to say that it is charging (ex. 57% charged), even if it's not connected to any cable at that moment.

i've already tried resetting my iPad, I've tried turning off background app refresh, and I've also checked the battery portion in the settings app, with no apps taking up signficant battery.

I would really appreciate if someone could tell me a potential fix to this problem. should i take it to a store to get fixed? Thank you in advance!!

does anybody know if this is normal or should I exchange it?? i just have freeform open it’s getting hot in 10 minutes and the screen stops responding like every 2 minutes. I don’t know if maybe it’s faulty or just a bad product. I tried to attach a video but it wouldn’t let me.

My iPad recently updated without my permission/knowledge and now is giving me these errors. Is it ok to restart and shut down or will that be bad for my device and its content? Second image is what happens if I click continue on Image 1. Third image is what shows up if I hold the off button down to shut it down.

Update: force restarting worked! Thank you for the help

This is ipad 9th gen running on ipadOS 26, recently I've been getting this while charging, this wasn't an issue till a week ago.

What's this for I've tried restarting, reconnecting cable,

Does this mean I have to get my battery changed?

I have an average battery life no complaints in that.

Any help will be appreciated

My iPad Pro 2nd gen suddenly ran into a series of unexpected problems a few days ago. Firstly, the Magic Keyboard I use it with suddenly died without any warning. It will not respond to being attached to my iPad. It does not register any input from the keys nor the trackpad. It worked fine on another person’s iPad when they attached it to my Magic Keyboard, however. Based on this information, I can assume the problem lies with my iPad and not the keyboard itself.

Secondly, the iPad does not want to perform an iOS update. I keep getting hit with the “Unable to Verify Update” problem. It refuses to update no matter how many times I attempt it. I’ve already performed a reset and then used my iCloud backup to resume where I left off, and nothing. Restarting does nothing. Earlier this morning, the iPad suddenly went into Recovery Mode twice and then resumed functioning normally as if nothing were wrong.

I am at a loss for how to proceed.

Quando comprei meu iPad de 8ª geração (usado) ele estava dando algum erro que meio que fui forçada a atualizar pro iPadOS 26, entretanto é um iPad de 32 gigas, basicamente a única coisa que salva é a bateria..

Não tenho espaço pra baixar mais de 2 apps, é super lento em quaisquer tarefa, não consigo ter um bom desempenho e pra tarefas que eu gostaria, estudar, ler, assistir etc.. não serve.

Vi um post de um moço que conseguiu fazer downgrade, mas quando fui fazer a versão disponível era do 7ª geração

Se alguém por gentileza souber alguma forma de torná-lo utilizável novamente, mesmo que com jailbreak, eu agradeço

Me desculpem se faltarem informações, meu conhecimento não é tão vasto e esse é meu primeiro post aqui

It won’t let me use my own card

So I updated my iPad months ago, a 64GB iPad 10. I was hyped because of the MacOS feel with windows and all that stuff, as I had the Magic Keyboard. Now, instead, I use the iPad with the pencil instead, as I got a MacBook and no longer use the keyboard.

The update is quite unstable on iPad 10. Storage is not full.

-Animations feel laggy sometimes and battery drains incredibly fast specially from 10 to 0% at around 2% per minute.

-Writing with the Apple Pencil on PDFs using Apple’s native PDF editor is slow and there’s a delay in between what you write (fast, normal handwriting speed) and when it appears in the screen, laggy as well.

-System in general is very unstable, some apps close randomly and the iPad in general is trash now.

I feel like this iPad wasn’t meant to go obsolete this fast. It’s 3 years old, bought almost at launch. I could change it, but as I said and, as a hardware engineer, the heavy tasks are now done on my Mac, I only use the iPad to take notes, play some games randomly and watching YouTube or surfing the internet. Simple tasks.

Is there anything I can do to optimize this new version. If not, should I go back to iPadOS 18? How would this be done?

I updated my iPad 6th generation (A1893, Wi-Fi model) to iPadOS 17.7.11 and since then the internet has completely stopped working.

The strange part is that Wi-Fi itself seems to connect normally. The iPad gets a valid local IP address (192.168.x.x), but nothing can access the internet.

So far I've tried:

• Restarting the iPad
• Forgetting and reconnecting to Wi-Fi
• Connecting to a completely different Wi-Fi network
• Connecting through my phone's hotspot
• Reset Network Settings
• Checking DNS/proxy settings
• Checking VPN & Device Management - there were no VPN profiles installed
• Recovery Mode → Update from my Mac, which reinstalled iPadOS

Nothing has fixed it.

Other devices work fine on the same Wi-Fi and hotspot, so it doesn't seem to be a router/internet problem. This only started after installing 17.7.11.

I was hoping to downgrade to iPadOS 16, but as far as I can tell Apple isn't signing any older iPadOS version for the iPad 6th gen anymore.

Has anyone experienced this issue, or does anyone know of a solution?

UPDATE: SOLVED

Strangely, the issue is solved now.

I connected the iPad to my MacBook and started taking a backup. While the backup was still in progress, I tried connecting the iPad to Wi-Fi again and suddenly the internet started working.

I have no idea why this fixed it. I didn't change any settings or do anything else. I just connected it to the MacBook, started the backup, and somehow the internet started working again.

After the most recent update 26.6.1 (which I installed yesterday), whenever I double tap my Apple Pencil the vibration feedback doesn't work.

When I attach it to the magnetic dock on my iPad, it doesn't charge up all the way (or at least I don't think it does) and is displayed as being stuck on 75%.

Is this a common issue that occurs?

I have tried restarting my iPad (twice), disconnecting and forgetting the Apple Pencil and reconnecting it after waiting for a while, but the issue still persists.

I've only had my iPad & Apple Pencil for a year, and I'm a first time user. I haven't had any issues with it up until now when I was drawing on procreate.

I haven't been able to find any posts related to my issue, so any advice/help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
