This will ensure that you don’t lose any photos, contacts, or other data. iPhone users have the option to backup their entire phone using iCloud. To backup your iPhone’s entire mobile, tap Settings. To perform a manual backup, tap Back up now. When your device is charging, it may automatically perform a daily backup.
  • Android users can go to Settings and select Accounts and Backup. There are two options: you can use Samsung Cloud or Google Drive. You could also connect your Android device to a computer or laptop and then save it all on your computer or laptop.
  • De-register from your accounts
    You must ensure that you have signed out from any messenger, social media, or email accounts. Gmail, Apple Pay and Facebook Messenger are all examples. You should also ensure that you are signed out of any apps that could hold your payment information, such as fashion apps and those that require a monthly or annual subscription.
  • Restore the factory settings of your phone
    Any trace of you on the phone will be erased by restoring it to factory settings. Go to Settings, tap General, then scroll down to Reset. The next screen will display several options before you tap Erase All Content or Settings to complete the process.
  • Tap Settings on an Android device. Scroll down to Privacy, then select Factory Data Reset. To confirm, you will need to click the Factory Data Reset button once more.
  • Remove your sim card.
    SIM cards can contain sensitive information, including mobile numbers and email addresses. You should remove your sim card. They may be located on the side of the iPhone. Other devices might require you to take off the battery and back cover.

How do you trade in your old smartphone

NIX accepts working or faulty handsets. It’s worth checking all criteria before sending us your handset. These are the steps to trade in your handset after you have done this quickly:

Follow the sustainable route Help The Planet-Trade-in Your device

Trade-in an old phone can make a difference for the environment, as we have already mentioned. Many customers are happy with older models of phones and don’t want the latest iPhones or Androids.

Additionally, there is the common misconception that devices are worthless if they are less than a year old. False. False. You don’t have to waste your phone.

Recycle your mobile

You don’t have to throw away your phone if it is severely damaged. Any phones that are severely damaged can be recycled for free. All plastic around your cellphone can be melted and reused. The same goes for nickel. It can be used to make stainless steel. You’d do a lot of good by being sustainable, ethical, and environmentally friendly.
