It is an irreversible decision. Therefore, you should be very sure before going for a complete reset. Here are a few pointers you need to tick off before a factory reset: Make sure you have a VCF backup file for all your contacts. Transfer them to a different device than your phone or sim card. Take a backup of your gallery on your google or apple cloud account to not lose them during the factory reset. If some of the photos are not synched recently, make it a priority to back them up first. If you are a person who makes important notes in the Notes app, back it up to your cloud or copy the information in another device. Source : Airtel
