What should be done before you sell your phone ?
As smartphones have become a part of our daily lives, we store a lot of personal valuable data in it to get it handy .So while selling this piece of our day-to-day lifestyle , we must be very careful.
Here are few points to consider before you sell your phone :-
1. While selling it's not enough to only factory reset your phone once as the data can be easily restored with a recovery software. It only deletes the addresses of the files and thinks and shows that it's completely free. But surprisingly it's not. The data can be recovered and all your personal data can be stolen which can jeopardize your life afterwards!
2. We should do a double format before selling your phone.
First , remove all your accounts from your phone, such as , Facebook, Twitter ,Instagram, Pinterest ,Google plus etc.
Then encrypt your phone which can be done from the settings menu and then format it. Now load some random data which has no connection with you such as music , videos etc. in your device and then format it once again. So that one can never recover your original personal data and you can enjoy a peace of mind!
3. There's a software called Dr. Fone , available for both android and iOS which erases all the data from your phone and not be recovered by any software. You can try this as well..
4. Don't forget to remove your sim card and memory cards before formatting !
