Performing a factory reset on an Android smartphone can help to resolve certain issues or simply wipe all personal data from the device.
People may do a factory reset on their smartphones for several reasons which includes:

1. To resolve software issues: If your smartphone is experiencing software problems like frequent crashes, freezes, or slow performance, a factory reset can help. It erases all the data and settings on your phone, removing any potential software conflicts or issues that may have been causing the problem.
