How do I wipe android phone before selling?

Wiping android phone before selling? Factory resetting Android phone might seem like the go-to option before selling it—after all, it wipes your data and gives the new owner a fresh start. But hold up! There are definitely some drawbacks to this method that you should consider, and I've seen these challenges firsthand.

A factory reset may not completely wipe Android phone before selling. Tech-savvy people can sometimes recover data using special tools even after a reset. This can be a risk if you have sensitive information, like banking apps or private conversations. It's a bit like erasing a blackboard but still having fuzzy marks! Therefore, it's wise to use other tools or methods to ensure your data cannot be recovered.

You will lose all your apps and personal settings. So if you have customized your home screen or saved important game progress, everything will be gone after the reset. One time I reset without taking my game saves into account and it felt like I lost my high score forever!

If you factory reset your device before selling it, the new owner will have to go through the annoying setup process again. Sure, it'll be "new" to them, but that also means they may find bugs or problems afterward since it's still in pristine condition. Doing a little preparation to make sure everything works properly can make you look better as a seller.
