Ipad ios 27.0.1 issue with virtual home button and scrolling

I have an ipad model A16 that just updated to ios 27.0.1. The update has rendered it almost useless. The virtual home button moves around, mostly over the keyboard space bar in the way of my typing. Various apps, including the (apple) settings app, scroll to the bottom of items like the “accessibility options” and want to stay there. Trying to view or access the first items is a challenge to hold it there and select it. I tried various settings changes suggested online but nothing has fixed it. suggestions are welcome.


Apple sure messed up this update. I have lost my faith in this company regardless of the testing claimed for this update.

Try updating to iPadOS 27.2 - this being released by Apple on Monday 26th October.


In addition to many functional fixes, iPadOS 27.2 includes essential security updates for your iPad.

Looks like the update suggestion worked, at least with a quick 2 minute test. Thank you.
