Use Authentic Charger

If your iPad keeps shutting down when connected to the charger, it can likely happen due to using a counterfeit charger. This will kill the battery and also triggers different problems on your iPad.

Therefore, using an authentic one is always recommended to protect your device from potential issues.

Cool Down Your Device

It’s normal for your device to get warm while using it. However, if you are charging and using a heavy app simultaneously without giving a break, then the temperature will quickly rise. The iPad will shut itself down once it reaches the set limit.

You can cool it down by closing all the active apps and removing the device’s cover. Powering it off will also work to cool it down quickly.

Free Up the Space

If your device is cluttered with tons of apps and data, your iPad may drop in performance, which could lead to a shutdown. So, you need to check your storage and delete unwanted data to make space.

iPad-storage

Let your device calculate the storage. You need to wait for a couple of seconds. Then, scroll down, and you will find all the apps. Tap on the apps you would like to uninstall. Then, hit the Delete app.

Update Your iPad

If the software bug is triggering your iPad from unforeseen shuts down, it can be solved by updating the device. Apple often releases new software updates for serious bug fixes. Therefore, if the new update is available on your device, try installing it.

Ensure your device is connected to the internet and has plugged in the charger. If your iPad gets shut down in the middle while updating the firmware, it may run into new troubles. So, only update if the update size is small or you are confident that your device won’t shut down.

  1. Launch the iPad’s settings.
  2. Go to General.
  3. Tap Software Update.
    Software-update
  4. Tap on Download and Install. Then, enter the passcode.
    download-and-install

Hard Reset

Have you tried hard resetting your iPad? If not, give this method a try because it will completely wipe your device’s data, including potential malware or faulty change in settings that are leading to this issue.

Likewise, you can reset your iPad in a similar way to update it. But before you start going further, make sure to back up your data.

  2. Go to General.
  3. Scroll down and tap on Transfer or reset iPad.

  4. Tap Erase All content and settings.
    Erase-all-content-and-settings
  5. Tap Continue. Enter the iPad’s Passcode.
  6. Tap Erase iPad to confirm.
    erase-iPad

Visit Apple Support
