Solved: Selling old iphone

Sam23 · ‎01-08-2020

So I’m selling my iPhone 8 and I have erased all settings/data from the phone and erased the iPhone 8 off my iCloud and removed it from my new phone so does that mean everything is off of mine on the old phone and is okay to sell?? It just keeps saying if I go to remove off the iCloud that another person can just sign in again, but I’ve erased. everything?

Many thanks

Sam

No one else can sign in as you without you Apple ID login details.
If they know your login, they could do it on any iPhone they wanted.
I'd suggest you turn on 2 factor authentication in your iCloud settings so only you can login.

Hi Sam23, as long as you've switched off 'find my iPhone' as well? if you haven't just set it back up again until you can get into your icloud settings and switch off 'find my iPhone'.
