Consider a factory reset to be a fresh start, trying to erase all information and settings on your iPhone. Whether you’re going to sell your iPhone, upgrading to the newest model, or making a donation it, performing a factory reset protects your data. Here’s how:
Back It Up!
Before you reset your phone, make a backup of the data on it. Backup your iPhone regardless of how much you’ve persuaded yourself that you won’t need the information you’re about to delete. To begin, open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap your name.
Find iCloud
Select iCloud Backup from the iCloud menu. Now press the Return key. This should only take a few minutes. Important note: You can (and should) configure your iCloud to automatically backup your data. You can also back up your data to your computer by following these steps.
Clean House
There are a few more steps before you can perform a factory reset. Begin by having signed out of all of your apps (including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter). This step provides another level of security while tying up any loose ends.
Do the Factory Reset
To begin, open the Settings app. Click General, then Reset, from the Settings menu. Erase All Content and Settings is the final option. Click the Continue button. You might be required to enter your passcode. Then press the Erase iPhone button.
Once you’ve confirmed that you want to erase your device, sit back and watch the magic unfold.
