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.
