How to restore iphone 【step by step】? ?

Restoring the iPhone allows you to return the device to its factory settings, that is, erase all its content and settings and leave it as you found it when you took it out of its box the first day. This action is especially useful, recommended and necessary, when we are about to sell or give away our old device. But in addition, it is very beneficial to gain storage space and performance, especially when our iPhone is already a few years old and we have never restored it. Currently, it is possible to restore iPhone using different methods, all of them safe, simple and fast. Let's see which one of them fits better your needs.

Restore iPhone using a computer and iTunes

This is the most classic method, but not the only one. If you still use iTunes to sync your music or other data, it will be familiar, and even comfortable. Let's see how to restore iPhone through iTunes by following these steps:

How to restore iPhone

• First, you need to make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your Mac or PC. In addition to this, we recommend that you make a backup of your device prior to restoration. Later, you can download it to your iPhone by following the instructions in the setup process. If you use iCloud for your backups, it will not be necessary to do it now in iTunes, but it will make sure that you have a recent copy. Once the appropriate checks have been made, open the Settings app of your iPhone, click on your name in the part top of the screen, select iCloud and disable the Find My iPhone feature . Enter the unlock code and confirm the action. Now open iTunes on your Mac or Pc. Connect your iPhone to the computer using the Lightning to USB charging cable. The message “Trust this computer?” May appear on your computer screen .. If this happens, or if you are asked for the code, you just have to follow the instructions indicated.When your iPhone appears in iTunes, you must select it.

  

  Select your iOS device in the iTunes window. The "Summary" panel will be displayed. Now you must click on "Restore iPhone…".

  

  Tap "Restore iPhone…" (or the iOS device you've connected and want to restore) in iTunes. A pop-up window will appear on the screen of your Mac or PC with a message asking if "you want to restore the factory settings of the iPhone ”, while warning you that“ all stored content and other data will be erased ”. Press Restore.

  

  Now you just have to confirm that you want to restore your iPhone by pressing the "Restore" option in iTunes

The restoration process will start. Remember that you should not disconnect the iPhone from the computer while the process lasts. Your iPhone will reboot, and when it finishes restoring, iTunes will show you the screen with your "new" iPhone to configure, either as a new device or from a backup.

Restore iPhone from the device itself

From my modest point of view, this is the best option, much more comfortable than using a Mac or PC. And if you make your backups in iCloud, with more reason.

To restore the iPhone from the iPhone itself, just follow these steps:

• First of all, open the Settings app on your device. Select General. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the Reset option .

  

  Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase content and settings, and your iPhone will end up as fresh from the factory Within this menu, select the Erase content and settings option , as shown in the image above. you are prompted with a message that says, "Do you want to update the iCloud backup before deleting?". This is very important since, as noted in the message itself, "if you delete without updating the backup, you can lose photos and other data that have not yet been uploaded to iCloud." So my advice is to tap Backup and delete. In the event that you have made that copy instants before proceeding with the restoration, simply click on the Delete now option .

  

  Never forget to make a backup to iCloud as recent as possible, otherwise you could lose that fantastic photo you managed to do this morning.You will then be asked for your Apple ID or unlock code. Enter the information you have been asked for.

Once this is done, the restoration process of your iPhone will start. Remember that the device will reboot a few times. Do not worry. Once you see the typical "Hello" screen, you can start configuring your terminal, either as a new iPhone or from the backup you made in iCloud.

The two processes described above to restore iPhone, both the "old" method of using a Mac or PD and Apple's own software, iTunes, and the most current method of deleting and restoring your device from the device itself using iCloud, they are valid for any iOS device. This means that you can restore your iPhone, your iPad or your iPod touch using either of the two previous systems.
