Resetting your Android device to factory settings remotely can be helpful if you’ve lost your device or suspect it’s stolen. It prevents unauthorized access to personal/sensitive information on your devices by wiping them out before they can be accessed.
The reset process begins.
Note that this is a permanent action. Once you confirm, your phone will be reset to factory settings.
Conclusion
Note that this method only works for Android phones. The phone needs to be turned on, the location turned on, and it must have an internet connection for the remote reset to work.
