Remember to properly reset your smartphone's settings before giving it away or selling it. — AFP Relaxnews
If you ever want to sell your smartphone to someone else, make sure you erase all traces of personal data before it gets into the wrong hands. A few simple steps can help you protect your data before you part ways with your handset.
Whether it’s photos, administrative documents, browsing histories or bank card numbers, it’s important to take maximum precautions when resetting your smartphone. Evidently, it would be unthinkable to sell your handset as it is, simply by emptying its photo gallery or by deleting just a few applications.
