Screen mirroring macbook to ipad as separate display freezing frequently

When using screen mirroring / iPad as separate display, the iPad side of things will frequently freeze with the cursor stuck on the ipad, with no other solution than to disconnect and reconnect. The iPad itself isn't frozen, I can access iPad apps etc. Just the screen mirroring freezes.

I know I'm not alone as there is an earlier thread about this: When iPad is acting as a separate display… - Apple Community

Any solutions or ideas as to cause would be appreciated :)

Hi Andrew Levine,

Have you noticed this issue on multiple Wi-Fi networks or locations? Or specifically when trying to open a particular app or start a particular workflow?

Additionally, if you restart both devices, does the problem persist?

Let us know and we'll continue based off that info.

Cheers!
