3. Performance Issues, Like Crashing, or Random Rebooting

iPads may face issues with performance. You can also experience slowdowns, freezing, and random rebooting.

Solutions

For this, reducing animation and transition effects can be helpful to alleviate any problems with performance. Follow the given route- Go to Settings – General – Accessibility – Reduce Motion to reduce animations, and Settings – General – Accessibility – Increase contrast – Reduce transparency to reduce transparency.
• If the mobile crashing and random rebooting is rampant, a rogue application may be the issue. Try uninstalling them one by one, or factory resetting the device and installing them. Go to Settings – General – Reset – Reset all Settings and Content.
