Old iPad Transfer Malware/Virues? Could malware or viruses running on my old iPad (running ipad os 12. something) transfer viruses or malware to my iPhone 13 (running ios 16.5.1) that I factory reset but linked it to the same apple id as the iPad? Could apps that are installed on both devices for example spotify transfer malware or viruses? I since have factory reset the ipad because i don’t need it anymore. Thanks!
