Flashing pink screen

My iPad screen suddenly froze and started flashing pink. I could not restart it. After a short period of time I was able to shut down the I-ad and, when I restarted it, everything seemed fine. What does the flashing pink areas on the screen indicate, how/where can I check for virus or malware/

iPad Pro (4th generation)

No visuses on an iPad, unless the device has been jailbroken. Perhaps it was a temporary glitch.


Keep in mind that you can always perform a force restart of your iPad, using these instructions: put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:

  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the power button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: In rapid sequence, press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the power button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).


If you ever have that problem again, I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
