My iPad constantly has blank apps on the Home Screen when I open it sometimes. Is there any way to fix this? More than half of my apps in my Home Screen only show a shadow although it allows me to click it I cannot see which app I am clicking.
iPad, iPadOS 16
If your iPad is behaving inconsistently, or not as expected, try a forced restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
