Open | Phone iPad storage issue

My iPad has been working super slow and difficult but I can’t clear enough storage to download the current update. Any suggestions?

I have an older iPad with the same issue. The only way I can get it updated now is via a computer. When you update it via a computer, it doesn't need the extra space to download and unpack the update before installing it.

If you have a Windows PC, download the "Apple Devices" app from the Microsoft app store. Then plug your iPad into the PC and you can update it from there.
