My ipad mini is not as responsive as it used to be. I use a stylus and lately I have to tap several times before something happens. My storage is 49GB used and 10GB available. Any ideas or suggestions.

Hello Lady...... - please tell us which iPad Mini you own (see Wiki chart below - Source) and what iOS version is installed; also, when did you notice this change, e.g. after the last iOS installation? If you have the original iPad Mini, the device will be 6 years old next year, has an old CPU and only a half GB of RAM - the newer operating system versions will not run well.

Also, if not already done 'Reset' the Mini by holding down both the ON-OFF & HOME buttons until the Apple logo appears (may take 10 secs or so), release and let the device reboot - nothing will be lost. Dave :)

I use non expensive stili, and the tips becomes less resposive over time, a new stilus fixes it.
