iPad Not Charging After Update| Troubleshoot It Easily.

If you are facing the issue with your iPad not charging, then this content might fix your problem. iPads are the same as iPhones but with a bigger battery and a bigger screen. It is normally used for media consumption and creative work, and due to this, the battery in the iPad is bigger, but I have observed that they also drain the battery a lot faster.

Your iPad may not be charging due to the following reasons after the software update.

• It has become old.
• Your battery is degraded and cannot hold a charge for a long time.
• The charger cable is faulty or may have been broken from the inside due to wear and tear.
• Dust and lint inside the charging port of the iPad.
• Software glitch after the update.
• Faulty Adapter.
• Charger is considered an accessory after the update.

Does a software update cause a charging problem?

Not with all devices, but sometimes yes, after an update, it can cause charging problems, you may face slow charging or device not charging type problems.

But personally, this can also happen in any device, it might be Android, iOS, or Windows. Android smartphones may also suffer from the problem of slow charging after a firmware update, as I have personally experienced it.

Sometimes, certain apps can also cause charging problems. You need to figure that out and try removing that application.

To fix this problem, just reboot the device or reset all the settings. There are many people who have also mentioned that their charging percentage was stuck at a certain number.

For this, the best you can do is visit the Apple Store and fix your problem, but make sure that if the repair cost is higher and your device has become old, it’s better to buy a new one.

Solutions for iPad not charging after the update

After researching deeply on this problem, many iPads had mentions in forums about the solutions, and I have also done some chats with the Apple support team about fixing this issue.

After an update charger becomes an accessory

After the update, the charger becomes the accessory, and you have to allow the iPad to access this accessory to charge up your device.

Step: Allow Accessory Connection When iPad is Locked for charging.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPad.
2. Tap on Face ID & Passcode (you may be prompted to enter your passcode).
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
4. Find the toggle labeled Accessories and turn it ON (the switch should turn green).

Note: – This might not work with all the devices.

Force restart the iPad

You can force-restart your iPad, as this will often clear the update software issue:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

1. Press and quickly release the volume button near the top button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume button far from the top button.
3. Press and hold the top button.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
5. Your iPad will force restart. It might take time for the device to do this.

You might need to do a force restart or a hard reset of your device one or more times. Do it at least two times and check if your iPad is charging or not. If not, then only the store can fix your problem.
