On the home screen, tap Settings.

Depending on your iPhone Settings, Settings usually appear on the home screen along with other pre-installed apps.

Swipe up to find the reset and tap on it.

This is the penultimate option to be found under normal Settings.

Tap Erase All Contents and Settings.

It's the first security measure to confirm your identity before resetting.

In a dialog box that pops up at the bottom of the screen, tap "Delete iPhone."

A similar dialog box pops up again, and you still need to tap "Delete iPhone" to continue.

Enter the Apple ID

Enter your Apple ID password to confirm your identity. When you're done, tap Erase to continue. The reset will begin after this process.

Some iPhones reset common questions

Does factory reset clear iCloud?

No, it isn't. No matter what files or images you save in iCloud, it stays in your account and you can access them at any time. However, any files synced from iCloud or downloaded to the iPhone will be deleted locally. You have to log in to your iCloud again after the reset to access them.

Will deleting the iPhone delete everything?

Factory reset deletes all personal information, files, apps, songs, accounts and more from your iPhone. However, any information or files you upload to the cloud will stay in the cloud until you access and download them to your iPhone. If you just want to remove something from iCloud, reset won't do that. But if you want to delete some files locally, a reset can help.

Does factory reset delete photos?

Yes, indeed. But only photos stored in the iPhone's internal storage space are included. Photos uploaded to iCloud will remain as they are until you log in to your account and delete them.
