How do I factory reset my iPhone without iCloud or computer? If your iPhone is still functioning properly and you remember the screen password, you can directly restore it to its factory settings in the "Settings" app. This is one of the easiest ways to reset an iPad or iPhone without requiring a computer. All you have to do is head to the settings page and look for the erase content option. It's very simple.
Here is how to reset iPhone to factory settings without computer via Settings:
Step 1. Open the Settings application on your iPhone, scroll down, and select "General".
Step 2. At the bottom of the "General" page, select "Transfer or Reset iPhone".
Step 3. Tap "Erase All Content and Settings" to factory reset your device without a computer. (iPhone won't erase?)
The procedure will take a few minutes. After completion, your iPhone will be restored to the state it was when you first bought it so that you can set it up.
If your iPhone is lost, you've forgotten the screen password or the device cannot access the system normally, you can use the "Find My iPhone" feature to remotely erase the device. This method not only helps you restore your iPhone to its factory settings but also protects your personal privacy in case the device is lost or stolen, preventing others from accessing your data.

Step 2. Log in to your iCloud account using your Apple ID and password.
Step 3. Go to the "Find My iPhone" option.
Step 4. From the list of devices, select the iPhone you want to restore to factory settings.

Step 7. Once the process is complete, the iPhone will enter the setup screen, requiring activation with your Apple ID.

Step 2. Go to the "Devices" tab and select the iPhone you want to erase.
