Not everyone feels comfortable not knowing exactly what a stranger could do with any data they find on their smartphone. That's why it's important to back up and delete your data before selling or passing on your smartphone so that you can entrust it to someone else with a clear conscience.

Reset smartphone – yes. But not only!

To truly protect your personal data, simply resetting the device is not enough. Therefore, the following three steps are necessary to be really sure:

Log out of the main account

If it's an iPhone, you log out of your Apple account. For Android phones, this is the Google account. There may still be manufacturer accounts such as Samsung. You should also log out of these.

Encrypt

On Android devices, such an option can usually be found in the settings under “Security”.
You can skip this step for iPhones as they are generally encrypted.

Reset to default

As a final step, you can now reset the smartphone to factory settings.

This process should delete all personal data and the phone can safely be handed over to a new owner.
