Why Do People Format Their Android Phones?

If your phone has ever misbehaved before, I’m sure you know the feeling of frustration that comes along with it. Therefore, erasing most of the old files that fill your phone storage is what most people do. When you reset your phone, you can “convert” everything back to default without stressing your fingers.

An extra reason for formatting is to sell your phone. Before engaging with the buyer, certain people tend to erase all the information, including their private data like contacts, messages, photos, work activities, and all other info. You should not leave any stone unturned!  

1. Your phone could get infected with a virus, and most phones have been hacked by different viruses. That’s why I format my phone once in three months.
2. What comes to our minds once we get a phone is to transfer essential data into the new device, and because of this, you will need to format the phone, especially if it is not new.
3. Most people use outdated phones, and because the owners cannot upgrade to the latest software version, it makes it easy for the virus to get installed in the phone.
