Data Safety Before Selling Phone
Here's what you need to know, in plain terms. Phones and tablets store photos, messages, accounts and saved passwords.
- Swollen batteries in any small device should never be removed yourself.
- Working phones may have resale value — check before recycling.
- Small items like chargers and earbuds are e-waste too — include them.
Data on small devices
For data safety before selling phone, phones and tablets store photos, messages, accounts and saved passwords. A factory reset and signing out of accounts (Google, Apple ID, social media) is the essential step before any device changes hands.
Resale for phones and tablets
For data safety before selling phone, a working phone, even a few years old, may still have resale value — brand, model, condition and battery health all factor in. Non-working devices can still have component value.
For students
A single old phone or tablet is a straightforward pickup — no need for a large batch. Wipe accounts and school data before handing the device over.
