Hey guys, if I purchase a used iPhone from an individual, how can I assure that my information is not being compromised through iCloud , iTunes or my apple acount all together? I believe that the previous owner of my phone has access to a lot if not all of my information. Feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks.
