I currently have an iPad 5th gen I believe (from around end of 2016) which I want to give to my nephew so I want to completely wipe it and make it his own.

I also have an iPhone SE2 and just bought the latest iPad Pro. Everything is synchronized I believe and on iCloud, so can I just safely wipe it completely to start from scratch with the old one?

Thanks!

Log out of your iCloud account on that iPad completely before attempting to wipe. That will give options to erase certain Data on that iPad first And allow you to take a look at what will be gone. Check your other Apple devices and make sure existing data is still there On your devices. Then, you can move on to wipe.

Perfect answer.
