Planning to reset your iPhone? Modern electronic devices like Android, Apple can be very complicated and can get themselves into a bit of a lagging state from time to time. Resetting or wiping your device can clear out the problems that cause the device to get stuck in a tab, behave sluggishly or otherwise alter its performance. It’s not a guarantee, but you’d be shocked to see how many times it does work.

When to Factory Reset iPhone?

If your iOS is acting weird or you are having trouble with your device, a factory reset might solve the issue. A factory reset can help you resolve issues with your iPhone or iPad if it’s getting slower or freezing, or going through problems you can’t identify technically.

Backup iPhone data before Reset

But before resetting your iPhone device, there are some steps you should follow-

• Backup is something you might want in case you are going to erase your device completely due to some bug or glitch. You can use iClouds or iTunes for backup. For iCloud backup, follow these steps- Settings > iCloud > Backup.

• But what to do if you reset your device and forgot to take backup. Do not panic, there is still a chance that your device might have backed up to cloud. How to find out? Go to settings, select iClouds, click the Storage option, and wait as it loads the Manage Storage option. Tap on it. Each iOS device has 5GB storage for backups, so it should show you previous backups for different apps or files. One of the backups should say that it is this iPhone or iPad. Click on that and you will be able to see what is, and isn’t being backed up. You can actually turn on and off the things so that they don’t take up your full 5GB. Or if you want, more storage, then you would have to spend a few more pounds.
