1. Reset factory settings of your iPhone in Settings

Reset the factory settings of your iPhone is the fastest and easiest way to do this. Specifically, the factory settings of the currently installed iOS version will be restored. All settings, apps and other data are removed.

2.Reset your iPhone to factory settings by restoring it with iTunes

A more far-reaching option is to restore your iPhone using iTunes. iOS is completely reinstalled using the procedure described here. This way is especially useful if your apps crash or freeze all the time.

• First, connect your iPhone to your PC via USB cable. If your iPhone asks you if you trust this computer, tap yes. Then open iTunes (download the current version if necessary!) and select your iPhone in the upper left corner.
• On the overview page, where you can see the main information about your iPhone, you will now see a button called Restore iPhone. Tap on it and iTunes will download the latest iOS software directly from Apple's servers and install it on your iPhone, which may take some time depending on your Internet connection.
• After the installation of iOS you can re-install your iPhone.

3.Reset your iPhone to factory settings by restoring it from Recovery Mode

If your iPhone doesn't start up or the two options described above don't work properly, you can restore your iPhone from Recovery Mode. To do this, the iPhone must be switched off. If it can no longer be turned off in the normal way, hold down the Power and Home button for a few seconds until it turns off. Proceed as follows:

• On the Mac/PC: Connect your iPhone to Mac/PC > iTunes[start]
• On iPhone: Press and hold Home Button > Connect to iTunes > Release Home Button
• On the Mac/PC: iTunes > Click on Restore iPhone

Once the iPhone is restored, you can set it up again and import a backup if necessary.
