I usually connect my iPad Pro M1 to an external monitor via the USB-C port without any issues. However, after updating to iPadOS 26 Beta 5 and now Beta 6, the connection no longer works.
To troubleshoot, I tested other devices and setups:
- Tried connecting a wireless mouse via a 2.4GHz USB receiver - no response.
- Tried connecting the iPad to my MacBook via USB-C to USB-C cable - not recognized.
Both the external monitor and mouse still work perfectly with my MacBook Air (macOS 18.6). This leads me to believe there may be a problem with the iPad’s USB-C data transfer functionality.
I’ve checked the iPadOS 26 Beta Release Notes and found no mention of this issue.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Has Apple acknowledged it or provided any updates?
Thanks for your help!
