Next, we will show you how to easily identify and remove viruses from an iPad. Apple's operating system is remarkably safe and it is highly unlikely that you have a virus. But this does not guarantee that nothing will affect the proper functioning of the operating system.
How to fix errors on iPad
- Applications- You need to detect the latest downloaded applications and remove them. Then restart your device and check how it works.
- Safari: If you have any problems with Safari, then it's time to clear its history with all data, which can cause it to malfunction. For this we will go up Settings> Safari> Clear history and website data and we accept.
- Restart the iPad: It may seem like a simple enough thing, but if you haven't restarted your device for too long, it may not work properly for this reason and is not a virus of any kind.
How to know if my iPad has a virus
In short, a virus is a malicious code which can spread in several ways. It can come with an application that we download or perhaps from a file, even from a website. The possibilities are many.
The chances of getting infected with a virus via the App Store they are practically nil, since Apple is remarkably strict in terms of controlling applications and their content. So it's very unlikely that, if you have a virus, it's from the Apple Store.
We will see in detail how to know if I have a virus on my iPad and, above all, how to delete it if it is. It is a process that requires patience, as we need to pay close attention.
How to identify malware on my iPad
The first thing you should appreciate is how does my device work? What we mean is that if you are seeing that something is not working as it should, the applications open by themselves, invasive and annoying advertising where there was not before, etc.
Strange things that did not happen recently, even closing the applications. Failure to open apps like Safari or App Store that are already pre-installed and shouldn't present any kind of problem.
In case you have this type of problem, you should look when you started having them and what you downloaded at that time. If it was an application, you will need to delete it as soon as possible.
My iPad is not working properly
In case your iPad continues to malfunction and you cannot avoid it, even after having uninstalled all the apps you downloaded. So the best alternative is to perform a factory reset.
Restoring the settings of factory or hard reset is to return the device to its default state. This means that you will have the operating system installed from scratch, as if you had just purchased it. This means that all personal files, applications, photos, etc. They will be removed from it.
But, just like it deletes everything we've downloaded, in case of a virus, they are also eliminated. It is the safest way to erase any virus and regain control of our device.
For this reason, we recommend that you make a backup copy before formatting your iPad, as as mentioned above, you will lose all your data.
To perform a hard reset you have to go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset content and settings, that would be it. This way you will reset your iPad to factory settings in minutes. The only thing we recommend is that its battery exceed 70% to prevent it from shutting down in the middle of the process.
