How To Factory Reset An iPhone [2023]



David & David show you how to factory reset an iPhone. While you can Erase All Content & Settings at any time, this doesn’t completely erase your iPhone, and you’ll lose all your data if it’s not backed up. There are also some additional steps if you plan to sell, trade-in, or give away your iPhone.

We’ll walk you through the entire iPhone factory reset process step-by-step. By the end, it’ll be as if you were taking your iPhone out of the box for the very first time!

1. Unpair Your Apple Watch [0:20]
2. Back Up Your iPhone [0:50]
3. Cancel Your AppleCare+ Plan [1:46]
4. Sign Out of iCloud [2:23]
5. Deregister iMessage [2:34]
6. Erase All Content & Settings [3:12]
7. Restore Your iPhone [3:27]

The first thing to do when factory resetting an iPhone is to unpair your Apple Watch. This erases all content and settings on the Apple Watch and removes Activation Lock. Your iPhone saves a backup of your Apple Watch before it unpairs.

Next, back up your iPhone. This saves a copy of all of your information so you don’t lose it when you perform the factory reset.

If you have an AppleCare plan and intend to sell, trade-in, or giveaway your iPhone, cancel your plan. Unfortunately, if you paid for your entire plan upfront, you need to contact Apple support, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get a refund. Then, log out of iCloud on your iPhone.

If you’re switching to Android, de-register iMessage on your iPhone. You can do this on your iPhone, or visit Apple’s web page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage/

Now, you’re finally ready to factory reset your iPhone! The easiest way to do it is within the Settings app of your iPhone. However, you can also factory restore your iPhone using a computer, just keep in mind you’ll have to turn off Find My iPhone if you do.

    Thank you, very helpful tips. Do you have instructions how to transfer datas over a new iCloud ID? Planning to change my iCloud ID, but not sure how to copy all the saved data’s like saved passwords….

    I bought what I thought was a great deal at goodwill-an iPhone 9! But it keeps asking for a password to someones Apple ID. its useless to me.

    I may have to do this after installing 16.3 on my iPhone, all my iCloud stuff is fubar. I have been working with Apple and they logged in again and ran some reports for engineers. I get a call back today with their findings! Im not a happy camper that it appears 16.3 messed up my phone. At least they are interested and working with me!

    I had to do this a couple of months ago, and I wish I could have watched this video first. I finally figured it out, but I think I lost some stuff. Now I know how to do it correctly, Thanks.

    That doesn't erase anything from your phone it just allows you to rewrite over your memory. What I do is reset the phone/pad, then set my camera to hydefinition point at the TV and video the screen until the memory is full and reset it again. You have to point it to at the TV because if it doesn't sense movement, it will stop recording. don't let the phone get too hot it doesn't take long
