Backup Your Data

Before proceeding, it is highly recommended to back up your important data such as contacts, photos, videos, and documents. You can use various methods to create a backup, such as syncing your data to the cloud, transferring files to a computer, or using third-party backup apps.

Final Steps

After completing the factory reset, you can proceed with setting up your Z Flip4 as a new device or restoring your backed-up data. Remember to sign in with your Google or Samsung account if necessary and reinstall any desired apps from the respective app stores.

Additionally, ensure that any external storage such as SD cards or SIM cards are removed or wiped separately if you do not want the data stored on them to be accessible to others.

Deleting all data from your Z Flip4 allows you to start anew or prepare the device for a new owner, ensuring your personal information remains secure.
