It is expected everyone would experience that after the update to index files in the background and for photo optimization. In addition to the lag, you also likely experience battery drain and the device will be warmer than normal. This could take somewhere around 3-5 days. Make sure you leave your iPad plugged in all night, every night. This is not specific to iPad OS 26 and also experienced with previous updates as well and even to a lesser extent for point updates.

Back on iPadOS 18, my iPad A16 could run high-graphics games smoothly, but after updating to iPadOS 26, the performance dropped and the FPS isn’t stable anymore.
Mine has a glitch in the upper part.
