Bug: Notification crashes iPad
A strange bug has been afflicting iPads and iPhones recently. If a message is sent to your device using specific Unicode text, the notification that pops up can crash the iPad. Unfortunately, a lot of people are now sending it.
Potential solutions:

• If you’ve already been sent the message, then you can stop the crashing by sending a new message to the same app on your device, or getting someone else to do it for you. You could use Siri to send yourself a message. Now, you’ll be able to delete the offending message.
• Apple is aware of the problem and has stated that a fix is in the works. We can expect a software update soon, but in the meantime, check out our workaround.

Problem: Won’t turn on
A lot of people encounter this problem at some point, and it’s a scary one — what do you do when your iPad won’t turn on?
Potential solutions:

• Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together for at least ten seconds. You should see the Apple logo, and your iPad should boot up.
• Plug in your iPad to charge and leave it for a while. You should see the battery icon onscreen. Let it charge for at least half an hour and then try to turn it on again.
• If you’re still having trouble then make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer, plug your iPad into the computer with iTunes running, and then press and hold Home and Sleep/Wake. You’ll see the Apple logo, but don’t let go until you see the Recovery mode screen. Choose Update and see if it works.

Glitch: AirDrop isn’t working
AirDrop is a handy and quick way of sharing files, but it doesn’t always work perfectly. A number of iPad owners have been complaining that it isn’t working properly for them.
Potential solutions:

• Start by swiping up from the bottom of your screen to open Control Center and make sure that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both turned on.
• Open Control Center and tap AirDrop and choose Contacts Only or Everyone.
• If you don’t see AirDrop then go to Settings > General > Restrictions and Allow AirDrop.
• Make sure that you don’t have Do Not Disturb turned on, because it will block AirDrop.
• Try turning AirDrop off, restart your iPad, and then turn it on again.
