When resetting an Android phone, I ALWAYS boot the phone into the 'Recovery mode' and then 'Wipe Cache Partition', then Wipe Data/Factory Reset. BUT… I then do these two steps 3 more times, THEN 'Reboot System Now' to allow the Phone/Tablet to boot back up…
It just helps ensure it clears what's there… 😏

You recommended an app that is terrible according to play store reviews. There's got to be a better one than that…..
2:28 isn’t that enclave thing apples’? Samsungs’ is the Knox right?
Short version – YOUR data isn't that interesting. No one's going to go through all this to get it. 😉
Why would you recommend an app that, according to reviews, clearly doesn't work?! Thumbs down!
All I want is for Google Play store yo off the same security on iphone… Before someone someone can wipe the phone or attempt to change your email
Although I don't think I am as important of a person for anyone to want my data, I get this is kinda important, especially when it comes to the big tech companies.
I always factory reset my phone when trading it in. Its a good idea also to just reset it every few months.
You can always clean everything off your phone with fire 😏🔥🔥
