Wiping Your iPhone

It's not a good idea to pass on an iPhone with any data on it. It's probably not even a good idea to leave an old one lying around with intact data on it. There's a simple way to wipe the contents of your iPhone so that sensitive data is gone.

  • From your Home Screen tap the Settings (Gears) icon.
  • Then: General>Settings>Erase All Content And Settings
  • Okay the prompts.
Wiping will take an hour or more, so make sure it's plugged into power if necessary.
