01Force Restart

  • The first step is to force restart your iPad. This can help resolve the issue by restarting the device and clearing any temporary glitches.
  • To force restart an iPad with a Home button, press and hold the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
  • For iPads without a Home button, press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, and then press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears.
  • Wait for the iPad to restart and check if the freezing issue has been resolved.

02Update Software

  • Outdated software can sometimes cause freezing issues. It's important to keep your iPad's software up to date.
  • Go to the Settings app on your iPad.
  • Tap on 'General' and then select 'Software Update'.
  • If an update is available, tap on 'Download and Install' to install the latest version of iOS.
  • Once the update is complete, check if the freezing issue still persists.

03Clear Storage Space

  • A lack of storage space can also lead to a frozen iPad. It's important to make sure you have enough free space on your device.
  • Go to the Settings app on your iPad.
  • Tap on 'General' and then select 'iPad Storage'.
  • Here, you can see how much storage space is available on your iPad.
  • If your device is running low on storage, you can delete unnecessary apps, photos, or videos to free up space.
  • Once you've cleared some storage space, check if the freezing issue has been resolved.

04Reset Settings

  • Resetting your iPad's settings can help fix software-related issues that may be causing the freezing problem.
  • Go to the Settings app on your iPad.
  • Tap on 'General' and then select 'Reset'.
  • Choose 'Reset All Settings' and enter your passcode if prompted.
  • Note that this will reset all your settings to their default values, but your data and apps will not be affected.
  • After the reset, check if the freezing issue has been resolved.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to fix a frozen iPad and get it back to its normal functioning. If the issue persists, it's recommended to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
