Ok guys I have some issues and I’m wondering if I’m alone. Ever since iOS 11 I keep getting this message that my Smart Keyboard is not supported, I mean really? It’s an Apple product.

Then last night I left my iPad on my desk and by morning the battery was dead. I know that when I left it, I had about 85% left and I turn off cellular because i don’t have it on a plan. Any advice or thoughts??

It does happen from time to time. Try hard resetting your iPad and see if that solves the problem. If it still doesn’t fix the issue, then I’d recommend paying a visit to the Apple Store to get it checked out.

Constant attempts to connect to a network with a weak signal is one of the top reasons for quick battery draining. Having said that, are you certain your iPad wasn’t searching for a cellular or Wi-Fi network the entire night?

I’m 99% certain it wasn’t searching but I’m gonna put it in airplane mode tonight to test it out. Thanks.

Well I just got a new update notification so we’ll see if that helps. Thanks.
