Reset iphone through find my phone

There are two options in Find My, "Erasing" and "Removing" your iPhone.

Erasing your iPhone will reset all content and settings. If you do recover your iPhone, you can restore from an iCloud Backup, if you have one. Without a backup, all your data will be lost.

Removing your iPhone will remove the Activation Lock, making it usable to anyone. Since your iPhone is lost, you should keep it tied to Find My.

Excellent answer Zachyy!

Thank you very much lobsterghost1!

You're welcome. I'm not sure why Faheemabbasis04 need to start a whole new thread on this, when the question was asked and answered in their original thread, however.

I wondered that too.
