Will erase all content and settings completely wipe my phone clear?

Hello!
I recentely got the iPhone 5S so I'm going to sell my iPhone 5, I want it to be completely wiped so none of my content is there anymore. Would I do this by clicking 'Erase all content and Settings'? Will this completely wipe my phone free and is there anyway of the new owner getting any of my information back?
Thank you!

Yes.

  • Will "erase all content and settings" lock my unlocked phone back up?

    I have an unlocked iphone and am about to sell it to a friend, but first I want to erase all of my contacts, pictures, etc... Is it best to use the "erase all content and settings" to get rid of all my personal information without locking my phone back up? Because I don't know how to unlock phones...
    Thanks

    We can't discuss things involving hacked phones. Erase all may or may not relock the phone but the smart person erases all their personal information before selling an electronic device.

  • HT201274 Will erase all content and settings on ipad affect basic icons?

    I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.

    If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

    Not possible.  You need access to iTunes.
    The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • HT201210 How do I erase all content and settings from a deactivated phone

    I'm wanting to sell an Iphone 4  8gb.  I moved up to a 5c.  The 4 was deactivated before I realized I had left my contacts and emails in the phone.  Is there any way to get rid of all this before I sell the phone?  I tried going to "settings" .... reset all content and settings ..... it asks for my password and then I get an error message ... "verification failed time out".  Can anyone help me?????

  • Will 'Erase All Content and Settings' remove Apple ID from my iPad 2?

    Hi all.
    I've read that Erase All brings the iPad back to how it was when it left the shop. But I need to comfirm something 'cos here's the situation:
    1. I just sold my mum's iPad to a third party shop. All done, or so I thought.
    2. I get a text asking for my Apple password so they can format the iPad.
    3. I reply that it's not needed for Reset All/Erase All. (NOTE: No Passcode was set on iPad)
    4. I get a text today saying: "But we need to change the app store. Otherwise if any other person buy it they cannot create new account. Maybe you can come and type it. After that we can reset in front of you."
    Does the shop really need my password? I was under the impression that Erase All would do a factory reset and clear my Apple ID from the IPad too. Then the next person just sets up their own ID.
    By the way, this is not a shop I really trust which is why I'm being so cautious. Also, I don't fancy going all the way there again.
    Thanks so much in advance and sorry for the long ramble

  • What happens when I erase all content and settings?

    I gave my son my iPhone 4.  We just put his sim card in and it started working and  I told him to change the apple id to his.  However, this morning, he said that he still gets my iMessages.  So we did an erase all content and settings.  Now the phone doesn't work.  What do we do?

    When you erase all contents and settings - it wipes the phone clean.
    If your son gets your imessage, on his phone go to settings - message - send&receive - uncheck or remove your apple id.

  • If I erase all content and settings does it deactivate my phone?

    my friend bought me a phone on his plan without me being there to be able to put my iCloud stuff on it. I dont have time to go to the store to get it transfered Nor do I have a computer to back up my other phone to put the stuff on this one. So I was wondering if I erased all contents and settings on my new phone to put my iCloud stuff on this phone would it deactivate it to where I would have to activate it all over again?

    Yes.  Erase All Content and Settings puts the iPhone in the same state as it would be if it just came out of the box.

  • I have an iPhone 4 that I need to reset completely. If I erase all content and settings, will it no longer be registered under my phone number?

    I have an iPhone 4 that I need to reset completely. If I erase all content and settings, will it no longer be registered under my phone number?

    Yes, the phone will still be connected to your Verizon account. In order to remove it from your Verizon account, you will either need to activate another phone on that number or disconnect the number.

  • If I backup my iPhone in iTunes then "Erase All Content and Settings", will I still be able to restore the iPhone?

    I am asking this because my iPhone 4S is really starting to slow down. And I think is mainly due to the deleted text messages bug (i.e., they are still searchable in spotlight!), therefore not deleted off my phone and slowing it down. There are big delays opening up apps (especially Messages) and now, sometimes,  my phone won't even vibrate when texts come in. I also just want to completely wipe the slate clean and start fresh, but I still would like to save the SMS conversations I already have. So I guess what I am afraid of is wiping my phone then iTunes sees the phone as a completely new phone and not "Drew's iPhone" therefore making a restore impossible. Would this be an issue at all?? Thank you!

    If you restore your phone as new - your text message will be deleted from the phone.
    If you erase all contents and settings and then restore from a backup, your text message will still be there.

  • What happens if a complete erase all content and settings is used

    hi new to ipad what haven if a complete erase all content and settings is used.

    It wipes your iPad back to the original out of the box state.  You'll have a picture of a USB cable and iTunes on the screen and the iPad will have to be set back up in iTunes as a completely new unit.  This is very effective if one is selling their iPad and wants everything wiped off the unit.........

    I have been attempting to wipe/erase the iphone 4S I recently purchased...for the past 20 hours....I went to Reset in Settings and clicked on "Erase All Content and Settings"....At that point the phone the screen went dark except for a white circular symbol revolving - indicating something should be happening....
    The instructions indicated that, depending on what needed to be erased, the process could take several hours. Even though the device had a Tom Tom application with all the maps of Europe etc (about 2GB) and there were several other apps on the device, it does not seem to me normal that the device would be still clearing into the next day - today!
    Can you please help!?

    Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
    Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until your phone turns off, then release.
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

    EErase the iPad to factory settings

    If you want to sell iPad, make sure you erase all content and settings:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
    This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
    If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.

  • HT201274 My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet.  If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" will iTune force an upgrade to 8?  I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.

    My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet.  If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" on the device will the device be forced to upgrade to 8 ?  I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.

    To Perform the Erase All Content and Settings directly on the iPad it does not need to be connected to a computer.
    In fact yes, is better if its not connected to one, but simply connected to its charger, and have it plugged in. Erase All content and settings, will not update the iOS.
    If you restore the iPad using iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected, then it will update to iOS 8. Because the restore will place the newest available iOS version supported by the Phone on it.
    Basically disconnect the iPhone, plug it in to its charger, and the charger to the wall, and then on the iPad go to Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings.  This will wipe clean the iPhone but will do nothing to the underlying iOS installation.
    Once everything is removed, you can plug it into iTunes and sync your content back.  Do not attempt to restore from backup while connected to iTunes, as it will update the iOS version in the process. Simply sync and you should have no issues.
