Do I have to erase everything in order to get my factory settings back on my iPhone

Do I have to erase all my content on my phone in order to get my device’s factory settings back? If so is it or would it be possible to restore all my backed up content in my iCloud from the same device if I do not have access to a PC?

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

Yes.


If you have a current iCloud backup and are syncing content, you should be able to get back to where you were before you erased the device.
