Your iPhone and iPad are two separate devices with separate settings. Though they share some features, they are not the same device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s what happens when you reset your iPad:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>All of your iPad settings are reverted to their defaults<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All of your iPad data and files are erased<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All of your installed apps on the iPad are removed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, make sure to always <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT204136\" rel=\"noopener\">backup your iPad<\/a> onto iCloud or onto your computer via iTunes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while resetting your iPad won&rsquo;t affect your iPhone, there are a few potential consequences to keep in mind before you go ahead and do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, if you have iCloud backups turned on for both devices, resetting your iPad will remove iCloud from the device, and your iPad will stop backing up any data into the cloud. As a result, you may lose important data that was synchronized and shared between the two devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, if you have any apps or data that are only stored on your iPad but not on other iOS devices e.g. an iPhone, those will be deleted when you reset your iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can reset your iPad in a few easy steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open &ldquo;Settings&rdquo; &gt; &ldquo;General&rdquo;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down to the end of the page &gt; tap&nbsp; &ldquo;Transfer or Reset iPad.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62ff77fcea15c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20480%20640'%3E%3Crect%20width='480'%20height='640'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62ff77fcea15c.jpg.webp\" class=\"eager-load\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>If you wish to factory reset your phone, click on &ldquo;Erase All Content and Settings.&rdquo; This will erase all your data and settings on the iPad.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62ff77fe5d6c8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_62ff77fe5d6c8.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>You will be asked to enter your passcode before resetting.

Using the same Apple ID will&nbsp; sync your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks across your devices. You can also share apps and music between your iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are also a few drawbacks to using the same Apple ID for everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is that if you forget your password, you lose access to all of your Apple products and services, as well as all your iCloud data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another major disadvantage is that if one of your devices gets stolen, the thief can use the &ldquo;Find my iPhone&rdquo; feature to locate your other devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will then be able to discover your location and find out where you live. This poses a significant security threat to the owner of the device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, sharing an Apple ID can lead to data mix-ups and syncing issues between devices. For example, you may accidentally delete a file stored in iCloud from one device that will also delete the file stored on another device signed into the same account.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"will-erasing-my-old-phone-affect-my-new-one\">Will erasing my old phone affect my new one?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When you get a new phone, it&rsquo;s tempting to simply erase your old one and start fresh. But is that the best idea?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erasing your old phone will not affect your new one in any way. This is because when you erase all content and settings from one phone, it does not erase the data stored on the iCloud, nor does it affect any file and content on the new one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should keep in mind that when you erase your old phone, you&rsquo;re also deleting all of the data that was stored on it. This includes everything from your contacts and text messages to your photos and videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may not think you need all of that data, it can actually be helpful in setting up your new phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So before you hit the &ldquo;erase&rdquo; button on your old phone, take a few minutes to transfer all of your essential data to your new device or back it up on iCloud. It may take a little bit longer upfront, but it will save you time and hassle in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Factory resetting your iPad can be helpful if you&rsquo;re having trouble with your device or want to sell it.
