Update:

iOS 11 was launched in Beta version for everyone who wants to test the future operating system for iPhone si iPad.

As we have seen in our tests, the new system is now has a lot of bugsand malfunctions, some even in the menu settings / options.
One of the problems ispinusers, it is impossible to hard reset iPhone or iPadwith delete data completely.

We do not know if it is a bug of iOS 11 or not Apple intentionally blocked this option for devices that have an account logged on to them iCloud / Apple ID, but it is clear that "Erase All Content and Settings”Is not functional until we de-authenticate the account iCloud logged in on your iPhone or iPad.

Erase All Content and Settings

So, to delete all data from a device with iOS 11, all we have to do is log out of our account Apple before clicking on “Erase All Content and Settings".

How to log an account from iCloud from your iPhone or iPad 

We go to “Settings” on the iPhone or iPad, then click on the option with the username. This is the first option in the menu "Settings".

In the menu that opens, scroll to the bottom and press "Sign Out".

In the box that opens, enter the password iCloud, then click on "Turn Off".

LogOut

The de-authentication process can take several minutes. After completing this process, we go to "Settings”>“General”>“Reset”>“Erase All Content and Settings".

Careful! This one operation will delete all data from the iPhone or iPad and it will bring all the settings back to the factory settings, but you will still have iOS 11 Beta on the device.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.

    • Usually this feature is used before you sell your iPhone, iPod or give it to someone. Then all the data needs to be deleted) Another reason is to do a total reset. If you have pictures, documents and other synchronized data in iCloud, they will return to the device after resetting.
