There are two ways to format iPhone
If the iPhone gives you some kind of problem, if you want to empty it to sell it, if you want to reuse it the best thing you can do is restore it . In this way you clean the entire operating system and leave it as it comes from the factory.
Format is a word that is used a lot at the PC level. On iOS devices the word for that action is restore, so if you ever hear it we want to make it clear that restoring is the same as formatting.
It's something that from APPerlas we recommend doing every year with the release of the new iOS This occurs every September and always it is advisable to install them from scratch. Of course, as long as you have made a backup of photos and everything you have on your iPhone
Yes, it's a drag, but it's something that will surely come in handy for your iOS device to work at full capacity because, over time, if it's not done, the iPhone or iPad may lose performance. At most, we recommend that it be done every 2 years, but his thing is to do it every year.
How to format iPhone:
We tell you two ways to do it. One from the computer with the help of iTunes and another from the mobile itself.
Format from computer:
- We enter iTunes and connect our iPhone, through the charging cable, to the computer.
- The program will recognize the mobile and ask you for permission to use it on the computer to which you have connected it.
- After giving permission, click on the "Restore iPhone" option. This will cause us to do a clean install of the latest iOS available.
Restore iPhone from iTunes
If the process is successful, after waiting for a while, the iPhone will restart just as we started it the same day we bought it.
Restore from iPhone itself:
- To format it from the phone itself, we will follow the following path: Settings/General/Reset.
- Once in the menu that appears, we will choose the option “Delete contents and settings”.
Erase and clean iPhone completely
After a few minutes the phone will have been formatted and the iPhone will be like new, completely clean.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before doing any of these formatting procedures, it is VERY IMPORTANT, make a backup copy in iTunes and iCloud, in addition to downloading all the photos and videos you want to save.
