Working on a Chrome problem on iPad Pro. Helper says to boot in safe mode.

1. Does iPad Pro have safe Mode?
2. How do I enter it?
3. How can I tell if I am in safe mode?

Yes. Found instructions. But they seem to indicate iPad will go into recovery mode. I don't want to restore the device.

Google support is asking me to put iPad into safe mode to test a Chrome option that is not working.

Well there you have it. There is no safe mode for stock IOS. Only if you are jailbroaken.

Really...didn't know that.

I just assumed...goes to show how long my iPad has been jail-broken. Went from JB ios4 to 5 to 6 to 7...

My bad.
