It\u2019s called a \u201cfactory\u201d reset because it takes the device back to the way it was from the factory. Essentially, it will be like powering your Android device on for the first time again.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to do a factory reset before selling your device or gifting it to someone else. You don\u2019t want any of your data to fall into the wrong hands. Factory resets are also a common solution to recurring problems.
