3. **Slide the Slider**: Use your finger to slide the slider from left to right. This action will turn off your iPad.
4. **Wait a Few Moments**: Once the iPad is completely turned off, wait for a few moments to ensure it has fully powered down.
5. **Press and Hold the Power Button Again**: After waiting a few moments, press and hold the Power button again. Keep holding it until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
6. **Release the Power Button**: When you see the Apple logo, release the Power button.
7. **Wait for the iPad to Restart**: Your iPad will now begin the restart process. Wait for it to boot up, which may take a minute or two.
8. **Unlock and Use Your iPad**: Once your iPad has restarted, you'll see the lock screen. Unlock your iPad using your passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID, and you're ready to use it again.
That's it! Your iPad has been successfully restarted. If you encounter any issues with your iPad, restarting it can often resolve minor glitches and improve performance.
