The prompt

I'm selling or exchanging my old phone. Give me a step-by-step checklist so I don't lose data or leave my accounts on it. Phone: [Android or iPhone, model] New phone: [model, or 'not yet'] Where it's going: [exchange offer / selling to a person / giving to family] Cover, in order: 1. Backups: photos, chats (including WhatsApp), contacts, 2FA authenticator apps, files, notes. 2. Moving my banking and UPI apps safely, and deregistering them on the old phone. 3. Signing out of the main accounts and turning off the anti-theft lock so the buyer can use it. 4. Removing the SIM and memory card, and unpairing watches, earbuds and cars. 5. Factory reset, and how to check it worked. 6. For a private sale: what to check about the buyer, a simple sale note with the IMEI, and taking the device's photos for your records. Keep each step short; where menu names differ by phone, mark them [CHECK ON YOUR PHONE].
