Reset network settings

When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and
VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is
turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re
on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings are left turned on.

General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove. This also removes
other settings and accounts provided by the profile.

Reset the keyboard dictionary

You add words to the keyboard dictionary by rejecting words iPad suggests
as you type. Tap a word to reject the correction and add the word to the
keyboard dictionary. Resetting the keyboard dictionary erases all words
you’ve added.

Reset location warnings

Location warnings are requests made by apps to use Location Services.

request to use Location Services. If you tap Cancel in response, the request
isn’t shown again. To reset the location warnings so that you get a request
for each app, tap Reset Location Warnings.
