YOGYAKARTA - Factory reset or returning the phone to factory settings, is a step that is often taken by iPhone users when they want to sell their devices or fix software problems experienced by their cellphones.

By doing a Factory Reset, all the settings on your iPhone will return to the default settings, like when you first bought the iPhone.

Thus user data will be cleaned thoroughly from your iPhone device storage space, such as account data, music applications, pictures, and other user data.

This is to ensure that your data will not be discovered by the owner of the iPhone who purchased your device, or if you repair the software, it can ensure that your data is safe.

However, if you have an iPhone with the iOS 15 operating system, there are a number of differences when you want to do a Factory Reset, compared to previous versions of iOS.

Therefore, users should be careful not to make mistakes. To make things easier for users, below the VOI team has compiled the steps you can take to reset your iPhone.
