Why is IPad storage so full

If your iPad storage is full, there could be several reasons for this. Here are a few possibilities based on the content presented at WWDC:

1. App Data and Usage: Apps, especially those used for education and productivity, can accumulate a lot of data over time. For example, the Schoolwork app on iPad allows teachers to create and send assignments, class announcements, or study reminders, which can take up significant storage space (What’s new in device management).

2. Cloud Saves and Game Data: If you are using your iPad for gaming, game save data can also consume storage. Games that use iCloud for saving progress can still store significant data locally (Port advanced games to Apple platforms).

3. New Features and Apps: New features and apps introduced in the latest iPadOS updates, such as the new calculator app and multi-app mode, can also contribute to storage usage. These apps and features might store additional data or require more space to function properly (What’s new in device management).

4. Apple Pencil Pro and Drawing Tools: If you use Apple Pencil Pro and drawing apps, the data from these apps, including undo history and custom drawing tools, can also take up space (What’s new in UIKit).

To manage your iPad storage, you can check the storage settings on your device to see which apps and data are using the most space and consider deleting or offloading unused apps and data.
