Hello friends, do you reset your iPhone? I have never rested my iPhone yet, more than 18 months since I bought it. But my friend adviced me to reset it every 6 months Is it true ?

    Uh, no? There are those rare occasion when Wifi stops working properly so a shutdown/reboot is necessary. That is not a reset.

    Just do it when there is a major iOS update. Otherwise, there is no need to.

    Only if I’m having an issue that restarting doesn’t fix. Doesn’t happen often as the process is easy but will take like 30 minutes between erasing and redownloading everything.

    I factory reset once when I had a 5C and that was only because the memory function was so messed up that I could no longer receive text messages.

    u/Silvestre074, did your friend explain what a ‘reset’ meant?

    - factory reset?

    - settings reset?

    Just some sample options.

    Please do share in detail what ‘reset’ is supposed to mean

    Reset means rebooting the phone? I only do that when I update OS or I encounter an issue that forced me to reboot.

    I’ve also heard some people recommend to reset your iPhone once a year. I’ve never done it actually, I don’t think it makes any noticeable difference, maybe it solves some problem that you have before restarting but if you don’t have any i can’t see the point.
