How to restart or reset the Oneplus 6T
If the phone doesn't respond to tapping or anything, it might be toasted. Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds. In this time the phone will reboot without losing any data and should work fine again. Otherwise, we go to the next procedure.
Why reset your phone to factory mode
The main reason why most users decide to factory reset a phone It's because it doesn't work like it did in the beginning.
When resetting, all the junk files that have been accumulating are deleted. We also remove installed apps, either from Google Play or other app websites. So the performance usually improves.
But other reasons to launch a reset may be that you are going to sell or give away the device. In this case, always remember to delete the Google account first.
