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!

Can reset remove malware on ipad? I am interested in an open box ipad. But somehow I am a little bit worried about whether there will be any malware left in the ipad. So I wonder whether reset can remove malware on ipad? Especially if the ipad was jailbroken, and something was left in the root level, then a whether a reset can wipe everything? Thanks!

Unless you have jailbroken your phone, you don't have spyware on your phone.
