how will Reseting old ipad affect new ipad

Can I safely reset my old ipad mini (2) after setting up my new ipad mini (6)?


I started deleting photos from the old ipad and noticed that the same photo was deleted from the new one. I don't want that to happen if I do a complete reset on the old device.


how can I prevent these 2 ipads from communicating?

If using Photos in iCloud, manual deletion of photos from one device will delete photos from all devices. Photos in iCloud is a synchronisation service - that keeps a synchronised copy in iCloud. Other Apps that synchronise via iCloud will behave the same.


If you wish to simply wipe a device for reuse, don’t try to manually delete files. Instead, follow this process:

Using this process will totally wipe the device - without affecting any files or data on other devices or in iCloud.
