Related: Apple has also rolled out iOS 16.1.1 (20B101) and macOS 13.0.1 (22A400).
On iPadOs 16.1.1 all my Shortcuts disappeared from the Share-button’s Menu in the Photos App.
On 16.1 they were still there
Thanks for reporting. Have you tried to reboot iPad? Also try to offload Shortcuts in Settings -> General -> iPad Storage -> Shortcuts -> Offload App -> Reinstall.
Let us know if it helps.
Wow, thanks Patricia,
Rebooting solved the problem. I had made a “forced” reboot a few hours earlier, when the Spotlight Search somehow managed to freeze on a locked screen without the onscreen keyboard. Maybe that caused the whole Shortcut problem?
Hello, I have a question. Did Apple Pencil lagging fixed ? because I still notice it.
Hi. Thanks for asking. No. It doesn’t seem to be fixed.
So, Is iPados16.2 beta fixed it ?
Adding a picture from within photos to an existing shared album, makes the photos app freeze and it has to be closed. The picture appears to be not adde.
It appears that stage manager is the course of it. Switching stage manager off, solves the problem.
Thanks for the follow up Caroline. We highly appreciate your contribution.
Since installing update 16.1.1 on my IPad Pro, the keyboard often lags or sticks when typing.
Thanks for reporting. Try to remove and re-add keyboard in Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Keyboards -> Edit. Does it help?
Youtube auto translate to english doesn’t display. Small box on screen where close caption would normally be.
Thanks for reporting Mike. Tried to replicate this issue and Auto-Translate to English works over here. Tried from a German language video. Have you tried to reinstall YouTube app?
Would appreciate if you can send a screenshot of the glitch at contact@iphoneticks.org
Ipad usually freezes and restarts itself. This happens with my Ipad 5-6 times/day.
Thanks for reporting. We’ve received similar complaints for iPhone running iOS 16.1.1 and 16.1.2. What iPad model are you owning?
Reinstall iPadOS 16.1.1 on your device using a computer:

I use Ipad Gen 7 128gb 10.2 inch (2019), just updated to Ipados 16.1.1 a couple of days ago. Now it has this bug more often in a day. I can’t use my Ipad anymore and find it really annoying.
iPadOS 16.2 will be released next week. You can already install the RC version if you want to see if it helps:

Since update to iPadOS 16.1, impossible to watch a video directly on iPad mini screen or via HDMI and large screen,
applicable to videos from Amazon Prime or MyCanal.
With iPad mini of ancient iPadOS, all functioning fine.
Please, how can I modify this? What is Apple doing to correct this? How can I downgrade to iPadOS 15.something?
Thanks
Thanks for reporting. What happens more exactly when you try to watch video on iPad from Amazon Prime? Do you get an error?
You can downgrade to iPadOS 15.6 RC and the update to iPadOS 15.7.1. Here is how:

Thanks for the reply.
On the Prime app, the first second of the video is being played over and over again. Until an error message appears: “Playback error, please try again later or for more help contact Amazon Contact Service”.
For MyCanal (CanalPlus online), first second played similarly then black screen.
I am on iPad mini, no iPadOS 15.6 RC identified thus far
Thanks for the follow up. If you’ve updated to the most recent version and the Prime app is still encountering issues you can downgrade to 15.6 RC. My colleagues have updated the article yesterday with more iPad ipsw files, the mini is included:
