Anyone else experiencing problems with App Shortcut Widgets on iPad?
I have an iPad Air 5 and I have made two shortcuts, one for my Ring app and one for my Mail app. I have these shortcuts in the Widget menu. Problems are that I can't press them - yes, right after a restart they work fine, but soon after they become unresponsive. I simply can't press them - it's almost like the screen doesn't work in that area, but the area works fine in the rest of the system. I then tried adding the Siri Suggestions widget, the funny thing is - several of the 6 apps that are displayed are also unresponsive, others work fine and all other Widgets work fine to.
I have the same widgets on my iPhone and it works without any problems. Both devices are updated to iOS/iPadOS 16.5
I have of course tried Forced Restart, normal restart. I have deleted the shortcuts and added them again. Still the same error - it works without problems after a reboot, but the next time I go back to the widget menu they don't work. I have a Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard connected, it doesn't change if I disconnect - so I don't think that's where problems arise.
My last option is wipe everything and make a clean install... but... arrhgg.
Have you experienced it, and have you possibly found a fix?
