How do I fix Guided Access slow and laggy issue on my new iPad?

Hey, so I have a brand new ipad and whenever I turn guided access on for whatever game I'm playing it makes it so laggy to the point I'm unable to play it. My ipad is completely updated and I always make sure I have no other running tabs, I'm not sure what else could be causing it. Please help, thank you!

Hi m-gigi.

Re: Guided access slow and laggy


Sorry there have been no replies to your post so far.

Some games may use a lot of memory / storage space while you play them.

You could check you have enough memory / storage space free for whatever game you are playing.

Go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage, to see a bar showing used and unused space

If you still need help, and haven't already done so:

you may want to try updating your iPad to the recently released iPadOS version, to see if that helps:


Or, if already updated, try: restarting your iPad (deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections,

may update recent setting changes, and often restores order if something is not working as expected.
