Any way to turn this 'feature' off on my iPad?

If I start to type something in the address bar, Safari auto-completes what it thinks I might be typing - like a web address in my history. If I type a character wrong and hit delete, it deletes the autocomplete thing it was guessing, but not the character I type. I always have to hit delete a second time.

There's no such word.

I have the latest Mini A17 Pro. The battery life is terrible on iPadOS 26. My battery health is at 100% at 58 cycles. Apple Intelligence is turned off.

The iPad seems to use a lot of battery in standby, even with nothing open. This annoys me, but what can I do.

I need to go away for a few days with it, so I charged it to 100% 2 days ago, then powered it down completely to make sure it would not use any battery. I powered it up just now to copy one last thing to it, and it's only at 92%.

Shouldn't it still be at, or close to 100% if it was powered off for only 2 days? Is there something wrong with it?

Wondering if others are having this issue since updating to iPadOS 26.5.

Every once in a while, my iPad just stops connecting to things - apps and web. It acts like the other end isn't responding. Like a web page will act like it's going to load but it hangs. I see the blue progress bar begin, but stop. Reddit just does nothing, but no errors. I have full wifi signal. My other devices are fine.

I toggle Airplane Mode on, then off, and everything works again immediately.

Quite often Netflix won't load. Just a black screen. Either restarting the box or going into the settings and refreshing everything will fix it. It lasts for a few days and then starts acting up again.

Sometimes when I use the voice input, I say "Netflix" and it correctly writes that on the screen for a moment and then tells me something like it doesn't know what I said. It usually works the second time.

My wife needs closed captions as English is not her first language. Almost any time we pause a programme for a moment, upon resuming it the closed captions are stuck on something that was said before we paused. Backing up the video a few seconds usually fixes it. If we use Netflix on another platform we don't see this bug.

If I click on an ad (which is usually an accident), the X to close the ad gets hidden behind the traffic-light window controls.

The only way to close the ad is to maximize the window so the traffic light controls disappear.
