Resetting, also known as resetting, removes all data from your phone and keeps only the pre-installed apps. When you turn it back on, you’ll need to sign into your accounts and download any third-party apps.

This process brings many benefits to the mobile phone and can fix some recurring crashes. Before formatting it, don’t forget to backup your phone and make sure you don’t lose any important files. See below some of the benefits.

Benefits of resetting your old phone to factory settings

1. It can improve device performance

Reset helps to fix various software related issues like corrupted files and unfixed bugs with app update. Soon after clearing all data, you will notice that the device is faster in starting up and opening screens.

Some crash situations can only be resolved by formatting the device, as the entire operating system is reinstalled. This measure optimizes performance even in the presence of hardware limitations due to the age of the device, such as low RAM or a slower processor.

2. Free up storage space

A very common limitation on older cell phones is storage space. Many people using these devices need to delete apps frequently to maintain the memory limit. Also, operating system updates get heavier over time and require more work to manage what is saved.

In this case, switching to factory settings helps to manage free space more easily: the process removes apps, photos, videos and even several smaller files which, once accumulated, consume a large part of the internal memory. Also, it provides an opportunity to use only those apps that are considered essential.

3. It is useful for reposting mobile phone

Are you going to sell the device or donate it to someone else? In this case, deleting the data is very important so that the next mobile owner does not access your confidential information, such as passwords, logins, photos or banking applications.
