How to factory reset your phone

A factory restore erases the information and settings on your iPhone and installs the latest version of iOS. This will delete all your personal data — including contacts and photos. Make sure you back up everything on your device that you wish to keep, before you do the factory reset.

Step 1:

Tap Settings.

Step 2:

Tap General.

Step 3:

Tap Reset.

Step 4:

Tap Erase All Content and Settings.

Step 5:

Tap Erase iPhone.

All data and settings saved on your phone will be deleted. Your phone will automatically reset and reboot.

After your phone has been reset, you might have to reconfigure certain settings, such as the date, time and WiFi.
