How To Bring Back The iOS Setup Assistant

There’s nothing quite like that feeling of setting up a brand-new phone. Everything is shiny, uncluttered, and brand new. If your phone is a few years old and you want that fresh, brand-new feeling again, you can do this by bringing back the iOS Setup Assistant. Which means that you will have to factory reset your phone.

What Does It Mean To Factory Reset Your iPhone?

Factory resetting an iPhone is a process that returns the device to its original, out-of-the-box condition. This can be useful if you’re experiencing problems with your iPhone or want to start fresh with a new device. If your goal is to bring back the iOS setup assistant, doing a factory reset is the only way to do this. It will erase all of the data on your phone, so make sure to back up your iOS device first!

What To Do First Before Restoring Your Phone

If you’re thinking about restoring your iPhone to factory settings, here are a few things you need to know:

• Make sure to back up all your data. This can not be stressed enough. You can do this by connecting your phone to iTunes and backing it up manually or using a backup app like iCloud or Dropbox.
• Download the latest version of iOS installed on your phone. You can check this by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
• Make sure you have enough storage space on your phone to reinstall all of the apps and data that were there before. You can check this by going to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage.

How to Factory Reset Your iPhone

Your iPhone will now be factory reset and returned to its original condition. The iOS setup assistant will now pop up and guide you through setting up your device again. Related Reading

What If Something Goes Wrong During The Process?

If something goes wrong during the process of restoring your iPhone to factory settings, don’t worry! There are a few things you can try to fix the problem. First, restart your phone.

2. Tap on Language & Region.
3. Tap on the language that you want to use.

You’ll need to set up a passcode. To do this:

What To Do After You Restore Your Phone?

So now your phone is factory reset, and you’ve let the iOS setup guide help you set up your phone. Now what? Now you need to set up all of your settings from square one. It’s probably been a while since you’ve done this, so let me jog your memory.

Connect To A Wi-Fi Network

You’ll need the network’s name (SSID) and password to connect to a Wi-Fi network. If you don’t know the network’s name and password, ask the person who set up the network. 1. Open the Settings app and tap on Wi-Fi. 2. Turn on Wi-Fi by tapping the switch at the top of the screen. 3. Select your network from the list of networks. 4. Enter the password for your network and then tap Join. 5. The iPhone will join the network, and you’ll be able to use the internet on your device.

Set Up Touch ID Or Face ID

Setting up Touch ID or Face ID on your iPhone is a quick and easy process. You’ll need to have your iPhone near you and your Apple ID ready to go. For Touch ID: First, open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap on Touch ID & Passcode. Then enter your passcode. If you haven’t already set up Touch ID, you’ll be prompted to do so now. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a fingerprint or thumbprint that will be used to unlock your iPhone. Once Touch ID is set up, you can use it to unlock your iPhone, authorize purchases in the App Store and iTunes, and more. For Face ID: To set up Face ID, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. No, you just need to follow the prompts to activate Face ID on your iPhone.  

Redownload Your Apps At The App Store

The last thing you need to do is redownload all the amazing apps you had on your phone that were lost after the factory reset. Don’t worry, you won’t need to remember what all those apps were. Apple makes this easy to do:

1. Go to the App Store app.
2. Tap on the Sign-in button or the photo at the top of the screen.
3. Tap on Purchased.

You will see a list of all the apps you downloaded on your Apple ID. Just tap the download button on the apps you wish to redownload back onto your iPhone.
