iPad iPad getting warm after iOS 12 update

[mebehere]

Hi. My 5th gen is getting warm while doing simple tasks like browsing the web with Safari and no other apps open. On iOS 11 this didn’t happen unless I was doing something like watching YouTube videos with it sitting on the ottoman. The battery also seems to be running down a little faster. I’ve done several hard reboots to no avail.

Anybody else experiencing this? Thanks.

Just leave it plugged in overnight. It might just be running facial recognition on your photo library or similar background task.

I always leave it plugged in overnight so I wouldn’t think that would be the issue.

Just give it a couple of days or even a week. I had similar concerns with my iPad back when I first updated the FW (to iOS 10, iirc) but after a few days, it was running normally.

Thanks. I’ll do that.

Best success! If by doing a hard reboot you mean that you force the device into restarting without being able to shut down - I would reserve this for when the device doesn’t respond to touch, nothing else.

Yeah, I hold the power button and home butttons simultaneously until it restarts. I don’t do it often unless things seem really screwed up on iPad and iPhone.

I don’t think that’s supposed to be the troubleshooting step to take at that stage. It’s a way to restart the device if it freezes completely. You don’t go to your desktop computer and randomly pull the power plug - or do you?

I don’t have a desktop anymore
