How to Restart iPad Without a Home Button
Restarting an iPad without a home button works the same way how you restart an iPhone, as both devices use the same key combination to do so:
- Press and hold the Power button (at the top right corner on iPad Pro, iPad Mini, Air) and either of the Volume buttons simultaneously.
- You will then see a “Slide to Power Off“ slider on your iPad’s screen.
- Drag the slider to the right side to turn off your iPad.
- Now, wait for 30 seconds, then press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. You can release the power button once the logo appears. This is how you restart an iPad having Face ID.
How to Restart iPad With a Home Button
Before the release of the 2018 iPad Pro, restarting an iPad was easier than it is on current models, as there was no need to remember any button combinations. Here’s how you can restart the iPad with a home button:
- Press and hold the Power button until the “Slide to Power Off” slider appears.
- Drag the slider to the right to turn off the iPad.
- Now, wait for 30 seconds, then press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen to restart the iPad.
How to Force Restart iPad Without a Home Button
You won’t be able to restart your iPad if it becomes unresponsive, in that case, the only option you have is to force restart your iPad. Here’s how:
- Press and release the Volume button closest to the power button.
- Press and release the Volume button farthest from the power button.
- Now, press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
- Once the Apple logo appears, release the Power button. This will force restart your iPad.
How to Force Restart iPad With a Home Button
Similar to a simple restart, force restarting an iPad is much easier on the iPad with a home button. Here’s how:

- Release both buttons once the Apple logo appears on the screen.
And that’s it. This is how you force restart an iPad with or without a home button. Follow these easy steps to ensure that your iPad operates at its best, providing you with a seamless and enjoyable user experience.
