After a great deal of trial and observation, the most effective workarounds to the recent CloudInspect lag issues on iOS/iPadOS, for most templates, are to work in Tablet Display Mode and keep the photo tray on the right-hand side CLOSED; both of these details are key for reasonable speeds, including photo upload speed.
For TREC templates, hiding remarks sections can be helpful, particularly when a section includes numerous remarks.
If you have questions or need assistance with CloudInspect lag, please email jeremy@hometeam.com.
- UpdateUpdate
Status
This issue has been confirmed to have begun with an iPadOS update, version 17.4 (or possibly 17.3) and beyond; no update was made to CloudInspect. We are working with ISN’s development team to find a resolution, as well as looking for additional interim workarounds and testing beta versions of iPadOS 17.5 to see if Apple fixes the issue from their end; at present, iPadOS betas still exhibit this issue.
While working in Tablet display mode in CloudInspect improves the situation, lag may still occur later in the inspection process. In addition, certain templates (e.g. TREC in Texas) may lag in some sections even in Tablet display mode out the outset of an inspection.
Recommendations
Until further notice, if you are running iPadOS 17.3 or below, we recommend holding off on iPadOS updates and disabling Automatic Updates (Settings > General > About to see current version; Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates to set these settings).
If you are already running iPadOS 17.4 or later, we recommend turning Automatic Updates on so that you will receive any bug fixes in a timely manner.
We will continue posting updates here as we have new information.
- UpdateUpdate
The issue appears to only affect “Desktop/Laptop” Display Mode on a tablet, and may get worse as photos and/or other data are added to the report. We are continuing to investigate, however for now a good workaround would be to open the report in CloudInspect and go to More > Display Mode > Tablet, as this view appears to perform normally.
"Desktop/Laptop” Display Mode does not appear to be affected when used on a desktop or laptop at this time.

Some users are reporting that, while using CloudInspect, system lag begins to occur at some point during an inspection, affecting on-screen keyboard and other touch input on iPads. We are working with ISN to investigate this issue.
If you have experienced this issue, please send a detailed report, including context of actions taken leading up to the beginning of the lag, to jeremy@hometeam.com. If using an iPad, please also send a screenshot of Settings > General > About.
