Ok got it, thanks

No I do, I just think im not understanding the process. I thought signing out of my icloud would prevent people from accessing my info but I guess I also need to clear the device

Edit: I just realized, Ive been thinking of my apple id but have been typing icloud for some reason. So anyways, signing out of my apple id does not clear my info from my device?

But how is signing out of icloud not enough to clear out my information

Yeah but is that a mandatory step when trading in my phone
