I was using a monitor for my iPad and when I unplugged it, the iPad was stuck in one app and it wouldn't let me swipe up or do anything to get in any other app. I tried to force restart it and it would not work. Don't know what to do, any ideas or similar situations? I have a touchscreen iPad air.
iPad Air, iPadOS 18
Either your iPad is broken or you aren’t doing the force close correctly:

then
The operative word here is QUICKLY for the first two buttons, then a long hold for the TOP button; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
Accidently took a screenshot and now it is stuck in the screenshot screen. Now trying to drain the battery.
Tried it over and over and it finally worked, thanks
