How do I wipe android phone before selling?

I completely understand your concerns before selling your phone! Although restoring the factory settings can clear the surface data, if you want to ensure that the data is completely gone, you have to add some tricks. Here are two methods to make your phone absolutely clean, even with recovery tools.

Method 1: Use the phone's built-in encryption function + factory settings

1. Enable phone encryption:
   Open Settings → Security → Enable the "Encrypt Phone" function, which will encrypt the data on the phone into garbled code, which cannot be read even if it is restored.
2. Restore to factory settings:
   After encryption is completed, perform a factory reset again. In this way, even if the data is recovered by some tools, it is useless data that cannot be decrypted.

This method is simple and safe. It is the routine I used when selling old phones. It is especially suitable for people who clean up data quickly.

Method 2: Deep erase with third-party tools
If you want to be more secure, you can try some tools that specialize in wiping Android phones before selling, such as iShredder or DroidWiper. They will overwrite deleted data multiple times, making recovery software completely powerless.

After installing the tool, select "Data Clear" or "Deep Erase" and follow the prompts.
Although the tool is charged, it supports secure erasure technology, which is difficult to crack even for professional recovery agencies.

 I hope these methods can help you easily solve the problem of wipe Android phone before selling! I wish you a smooth phone sale! 😊
