How to Delete Everything on iPhone before Selling

The most important part of preparing your iPhone for sale is wiping all of your personal data on iPhone. Don’t ever trade in or give away an iPhone unless you delete everything. What’s more, don’t manually delete photos, music, or other data while signed in your iCloud account, because this also delete the content from iCloud server and other iDevices that share the same iCloud account. Is there any way easier and safer?

Step 1: Go to Settings.
