If you've been using your iPhone for a while, looking to upgrade to a newer model, and planning to sell your old smartphone, be cautious. If you don't want to give away all your personal information stored in your beloved device, follow the steps below.
1. Unpair Your Apple Watch
For those with an Apple Watch, start by unpairing it. This step is specifically for iPhone and Apple Watch owners. If you don't own an Apple Watch, proceed to step 2.
To unpair - or disconnect - your iPhone and Apple Watch is a simple process. Follow these instructions: Go to the Watch app => My Watch => Unpair Apple Watch.
2. Back Up Data on Your Phone
This is the most crucial step because surely you don't want to sell your iPhone and 'gift' the new owner with your personal information, including contacts, photo library, and countless things you don't want to share with strangers. You have two ways to back up data, either through iTunes or using iCloud.
In case you want to back up data via iCloud, ensure that the phone is connected to Wi-Fi. Then, open Settings => iCloud => Backup => Back Up Now.
If you choose the traditional way to back up data, connect the iPhone to the computer and use iTunes. With this method, start by transferring all transaction data on the iPhone to the computer.
Perform the following steps: Open the iTunes app, select File => Devices => Transfer Purchases from iPhone. Then, to back up data, continue to select File => Devices => Backup. At this point, you have successfully backed up data from iPhone to the computer.
3. Log out of iCloud and iMessage
After securely storing your device data, don't forget to log out of personal accounts on your iPhone, including iCloud and iMessage. To log out of iCloud, click on Settings => iCloud => Sign out.
To log out of iMessage: go to Settings => Messages > Turn off iMessages.
4. Wipe all data and restore factory settings for iPhone
Once you've ensured all data is backed up, and personal accounts are logged out, you can confidently wipe all data on the iPhone.
It's quite simple, just follow these steps: go to Settings - General => Reset => Erase All Content and Settings.
