I am leaving to USA in next week and will give my iPhone 5S to my younger brother. I have a lot of private things on the phone so how to completely wipe the phone? I don't want any of them being seen by my brother.

To do it on your iPhone, open Settings, then tap "General." Next, select "Reset," then "Erase All Content and Settings." Unlike the iTunes method, this does not install a new version of the software — just securely erases all of the content and settings.

Apple recommends to sign out of everything, then go into Settings -> General -> Erase All Content and Settings. That should do it without installing 3rd-party software. However, if you ever need to write a proper apa format essay on your iPhone you'll most likely need a third-party app.Last edited by DanielCoulson; 12-28-2020, 12:00 PM.
