How do I reset a game on my iPhone?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

To reset a game on your iPhone, you will need to follow a few simple steps. Before proceeding, make sure you have deleted the games you want to reset from your device. Once you have done that, you can access the saved games data by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage. From there, select Show All to view all the saved data on your device.

Now, look for the specific game you want to reset and tap on it. This will bring up the options for that game’s data. To reset the game, tap on the Edit button at the top right corner of the screen. This will allow you to select multiple games if you want to reset more than one.

Once you have tapped Edit, you will see checkboxes next to each game’s data. Simply tick the checkbox next to the game you want to reset. If you want to reset multiple games, tick the checkboxes next to each of them. After selecting the games you want to reset, you can tap on the Delete button at the bottom right corner of the screen.

A confirmation message will appear asking if you want to delete the selected game’s data. Confirm your decision by tapping on Delete. This will permanently delete the game’s data from your device, effectively resetting the game.

It’s important to note that resetting a game will erase all your progress, including any saved levels, achievements, and in-game purchases. If you want to start fresh or have encountered issues with your game, resetting can be a useful option.

Remember, the steps mentioned above may vary slightly depending on the iOS version you are using. However, the general process remains the same. If you are unsure or need further assistance, you can consult the game’s support documentation or reach out to the game’s developer for specific instructions.

In my personal experience, I have had to reset games on my iPhone a few times due to various reasons. Sometimes, I wanted to start over and experience the game from the beginning, while other times I encountered glitches or bugs that required a reset to fix. Following the steps I mentioned earlier, I was able to easily reset the games and start fresh. It’s always a good idea to double-check if you have deleted the games you want to reset before proceeding, as resetting will permanently remove all game data from your device.
