iOS 15.2 update came with good features It is required, but there is a feature that we hope that you do not have to use, although it is useful. Apple has made it clear that users who forgot the unlock code for their iPhone will now be able to scan and restore it directly from the lock screen, allowing them to return to using their devices quickly and in any circumstance. Without the need to use a computer. Learn in this article how to erase and restore a locked iPhone.
Previously, if you forgot the password to unlock your iPhone or iPad, your only recourse was to connect it to your Mac or PC to wipe it and restore it using iTunes or Finder in macOS 11. This usually required the tricky procedure of setting The iPhone is in DFU mode, since a locked iPhone will not connect to a Mac or a computer in another way, especially since the new USB restricted mode appeared a few years ago.
With the iOS 15.2 update, it is now possible to erase a locked iPhone directly from the lock screen, and restore it to factory settings. This should at least allow you to make calls and send and receive messages over the cellular network, and you can also easily restore your iCloud backup and be back to work on your iPhone in a few minutes. Here is how to scan and restore a locked iPhone:
◉ firstThe iPhone must be in “Security Lockout” or “iPhone is turned off” mode, try after…. of minutes”, so you will need to try entering the passcode many times until you see a message on your screen to try again in a few minutes.
◉ Once this appears, you will see Erase iPhone button in the lower left or right corner. click on it.
◉ Then tap Erase iPhone or Erase iPhone again to confirm that you really want to do so.
◉ When prompted, enter your Apple ID password to sign out of your iCloud account and disable Find My iPhone.
◉ Tap Erase iPhone or Erase iPhone again to confirm that you want to do so.
Note that you will still need to provide your Apple ID and password to erase iPhone for security reasons, so the thief will not be able to erase your device or disable Find My iPhone.
Unlike an iPhone passcode, it's very easy to reset your Apple ID password, so you're unlikely to find yourself stuck at this point. And if you end up in this situation, the old method of putting your iPhone in DFU mode and restoring it through iTunes is still an option. Although, if Find My iPhone is enabled on your device, you still have to provide your password to disable Activation Lock after restoring it.
Keep in mind that you will also need a network connection to complete the process because iOS needs a way to connect to Apple servers to verify your Apple ID and password.
Even while it's locked, your iPhone will be able to connect to any nearby Wi-Fi networks as long as you don't restart it. Like everything else on your iPhone, your Wi-Fi credentials will be encrypted with your passcode, but remain in memory until you restart your device. This does not affect cellular data connections, and will remain available even after a restart.
Although this feature will not allow you to get hold of your data without knowing your passcode (unless you have a backup of course), it will ensure that you can quickly restore your iPhone to at least basic functions, which may be especially useful If you are stuck somewhere far from home. In such cases, making phone calls and sending and receiving texts can be much more important than getting your other data.

How for an eSIM
Do I have to reset? Especially if the person cannot communicate with the operator.
Epic feature
Hk🌺ra
Very useful feature
A good alternative to using a computer
This is one of the next steps to dispense with the entrance with wired charging..
If from Apple instead of erasing the device and the length of the process when I forget the access code to the phone, why doesn’t Mubasher ask me for the iCloud account and code to unlock the device
Assuming the device is stolen
It must be erased from it
Question
If my iPhone was stolen, and there was a screen protection code, and my account was activated by iCloud, can the thief wipe the phone and use the device again?
What is the clear question?
In order to restore, you must enter your Apple account
I think this is the beginning of providing alternative solutions to the computer in the event that Apple releases an iPhone without a charging port
