IPad Pro glitches

Hello. I've had my iPad pro (generation 4, 12.9 inch) for 3 years now, but in December 2022, it started glitching really badly. It started quitting apps even when I deleted them and downloaded them again, the screen flashed pink and restarts, and when I screenshot sometimes there are thick black lines in them. Any ideas on what this all means or what I should do?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

How to fix an iPad that keeps glitching? My iPad keeps glitching for some reason. Out of nowhere two weeks ago I was watching Hulu and it started to glitch and turned pink and non-responsive to shut down attempts. Then two days later it kept restarting 10 times and finally it went back to normal. Today again this happened. I don’t know what to do. Any help is appreciated. I’m more concerned if it was hacked or something. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Black lines on apps For some reason when I go to my camera app there is a faint black line, this also happens on my Snapchat, and my tik tok also. I don’t know what the problem is and when I screenshot the line or when I’m on ft the lines sometimes go away but just on one app. I restarted my phone and everything and I don’t think my LCD is broken either. I also have an iPhone 11. If anyone knows how to fix this issue please let me know the internet really hasn’t told me anything other then it might be the lcd in the phone. Is this issue happening to someone else?

Black lines on iPad Pro 2018 screen Hi there, I have 1 pixel black lines on my iPad screen. But only in certain apps, like Chunky, Procreate, Sketchbook, and only around UI elements. It is not present at all in any Apple apps, like Safari, Notes, etc. In Chunky app if I am using my iPad in vertical orientation, there is two vertical black lines around the window's top three dot button. But it disappears if I rotate the iPad to landscape mode. In Procreate and Sketcthbook they are or it is in some case horizontal and only present if I open a palette, like the layers or colors palette. I tried to make several a screenshots but they are not visible on them. I also tried to force restart, sign out from and sign back to iCloud, delete and reinstall the apps and even resetting the iPad settings. But no matter what I try. Could you please help me if it is not a software issue – as it seems to me at first, because it is tied to UI elements, disappears on rotation, etc. – then what could cause it and is it fixable? Should I report it to the app developers, since it only appears in certain apps or is it an iPadOS issue since the problem appears around standard UI elements like the elliptic window menu and palettes with drop shadow? Thank you so much in advance!

You might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.

Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:
