Update notification will not go away.

I have a 5th generation Ipad wifi and I updated it to 16.2 and the notification in settings will not go away. I've tried rebooting to no avail. I also reset the network settings as well.


iPad, iPadOS 16

Assuming that Automatic Updates are enabled - temporarily disable Automatic Updates in iPad settings:

Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates




Next, perform a forced-restart of your iPad:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
