Using <a href=\"https:\/\/fastestvpn.com\/buy-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FastestVPN<\/a> can protect your connection, especially on public Wi-Fi.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <div class=\"fastest-hd-btn\">\n <a class=\"hd-conter-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/fastestvpn.com\/lifetime-special-deals?a_aid=634829be4d0b2\" title=\"Get FastestVPN\">Get FastestVPN <i class=\"fa fa-hand-o-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why Wipe an iPhone<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before looking into how to wipe an iPhone, we should discuss why this process is important. An iPhone keeps a lot of information that includes the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pictures, videos, messages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banking and payment information\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emails and contacts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Browsing history and app data<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all these are still recoverable by some other person, then this leads to privacy invasion or identity theft. Wiping gives assurance that the data will be safely erased, making the phone almost new. Wiping an iPhone can eliminate slowdown problems and free up memory space from unnecessary files or simply prepare it for another user. It might be helpful if you are troubleshooting the device or switching ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Pre-Wipe Checklist: What to Do Before Wiping Your iPhone<br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Back Up Your Data<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should back up all that needs to be saved because your iPhone will be erased after wiping it clean. You can use iCloud or iTunes\/Finder to make a backup copy across their products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>iCloud Backup:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to Settings &gt; [Your Name] &gt; iCloud &gt; iCloud Backup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap Back Up Now and connect to a Wi-Fi connection.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure it is finished in Settings &gt; [Your Name] &gt; iCloud &gt; iCloud Backup.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>iTunes\/Finder Backup:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attach the iPhone to a computer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open iTunes (for Windows or macOS Mojave and earlier) or Finder (macOS Catalina and later).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose your device and hit Backup Now, and your device will get backed up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back up allows easy data restoration onto a new device or later recovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Sign Out of iCloud and Apple ID<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This way, you will not have any trouble activating the lock. Sign out of iCloud as well as your Apple ID:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to settings &gt; [Your Name].<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scroll down to the extent that it hits Sign out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type in your Apple ID Password, then tap Turn Off for Find My iPhone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirm with Sign Out.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Disable Find My iPhone<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before doing so, make sure my iPhone is turned off:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting &gt; [Your Name] &gt; Find My &gt; Find My iPhone.Turn off Find My iPhone and enter your Apple ID password to confirm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Secure Your Connection with FastestVPN<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public Wi-Fi networks are usually susceptible to hackers. FastestVPN can encrypt your connection and provide breakneck speeds, ensuring that your data remains under severe wraps while backed up or when a user logs off their account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Remove SIM Card and Accessories<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are giving away or selling the product, remove the SIM card for stipulation and any accessories, like screen protectors or cases, that were once bundled with the iPhone. They will probably fill their memories with history, trying to figure out how to make the best out of the &#8216;gift&#8217;, as it is a giveaway if it is done as described.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Method 1: How to Wipe an iPhone Using Settings<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way would be to do that through Sdevice&#8217;s Settings app. It is best for those who can access the iPhone and want to know its passcode.
