Kasa app not opening on iPad

While Kasa Smart App is available on iOS app stores for iOS devices, it is not compatible with all apple devices.

If it was previously working on your iPad but just stopped working recently.

Check if you made recent changes to your iPad like updating it to a newer version or resetting it.

Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling may help.

How to Reset Kasa App

If nothing works, there is always an option to reset your TP-Link Kasa smart device.

There are two reset options available for you – soft reset and factory reset.

While a soft reset may not erase all of your settings and may fix some issues but sometimes you need to factory reset your device.

Performing a factory reset will erase all of your custom settings and restore the device to the factory defaults preset.

If you having some issues, we suggest you first try the solution to fix that issue and then soft reset.

If that fixes the issue then there is no reason to perform a hard reset.
