With an edge-to-edge display, no Home button, and Touch ID integrated into the Power button, Apple’s fifth-generation iPad Air (2022) will be similar to the iPad Air 4. Because the new iPad does not have a Home button, various functions, such as restarting, shutting down, and forcing a restart, are not available.
An iPad may be shut down and hard reset by following the instructions in this article. All the iPad models have been covered. Other methods for resetting an iPad are also included.
A shut down and restart on the iPad Air are the same gesture, however a force restart, performed when a standard restart fails, is somewhat different.
Restarting the computer normally does not work all the time. Locked iPads may not react to taps, and in certain cases, the slider may not show. A hard reset may be your best bet in this situation.
Clearing the RAM used by applications and the operating system (but not your data, which will remain secure) is a simple way to give your iPad a clean slate. To hard reset the device:
Restarting Your iPad Air 4 or 5
- To access the volume slider, hold down the power button and one of the volume up/down buttons for a few seconds.
- Use the on-screen slider to shut off the iPad.
- Hold down the top power button until the Apple logo shows after it has been switched off.
While the Home and Side buttons on iPads with a Home button may be held down simultaneously to restart the tablet, this isn’t possible with the iPad Air, which must be shut down completely and then powered back on.
Open into the Settings app, click General, and then Shut Down in order to switch off your iPad Air.
Doing a Force Shutdown on an iPad Air 4 or Air 5
- In a few of seconds, press the volume up button and release it.
- To turn down the volume, swiftly press and hold the volume down button for a few seconds.
- To force a restart, keep pressing and holding the top Power button.
For an iPhone without a Home button, you may use these exact identical procedures to shut down or restart your phone by holding down on its Side Button on the right instead of the Home Button on the top of the phone.
