Freezing and Lagging of IPad Air after attached Combo Touch Keyboard

Does anyone experience the freezing and lagging of iPad when combo touch keyboard is attached?

I am using iPad Air 4th generation.

I tried reinstalling the firmware iOS and the update the keyboard firmware. It is still the same.

When I was using iOS 14.6, I do not have this problem. I got this problem after I update my iOS.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Please help.

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Troubleshooting a Lagging iPad:

System resources a likely being swallowed up, so to speak. So, start with clearing space. Try the following:


I. Cool Down the iPad:

For a few hours, perform the following...

  • Power Off: the iPad for a bit
  • Unplug: any Cables
  • Place it Atop: Laptop Cooler
  • Keep it in: an open space
  • Keep it Out of: direct sunlight


II. Clear Space:

Having little empty space can heat things up. So, here is what to perform...

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:


Also...

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.


Also...

C. Clear "Other":

Clear the storage named System Data (formerly called "Other"). It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time. Perform the same as instructed here, but on your iPad.: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use.
