My iPad mini 6 slowed down to a crawl last night.

I was scrolling through Instagram when I get a FaceTime call, I take the call. During the call, it begins to get warm.

During the call, I decide to do a quick google search to screen shot something from a website. The iPad just stopped responding. I triggered a screenshot, and it took about 10 seconds from the time I push the button to the actual screenshot happening. I tried to send it to someone via iMessage and everything just froze.

Has anyone experienced something like this?
 
Never experienced anything like it. Did a restart resolve it? Could a crooked app have caused it?
 
I haven’t. I use my mini 6 pretty much all day… however, I don’t use Instagramand very seldom FaceTime.

If you’re not already on iPadOS 17.4.1 I’d update. If you are on it and the issue happens again, I’d suggest trying to get a video recording from another device & contact AppleCare.
 
Have you tried resetting your iPad?

It is also possible that something is wrong with these apps... maybe reinstalling them will solve your problem.

reboot
 
One of those weird, unexplainable bugs solved a reboot probably.

Just reboot, it’ll be fine.
