Tips to Avoid Data Loss on iPhone in the Future
Factory reset is the last way to repair the system glitches and erase your privacy. By factory resetting your iPhone, you will completely lose all iPhone content and settings. If you have regularly backed up your iPhone to iCloud, iTunes, or otherwhere before data loss, you can recover factory reset iPhone from previous backup files.
However, if you don't back up your iPhone beforehand, there is a slim chance for you to recover data from wiped iPhone.
