    I want to factory reset my iPhone 5s
    I don't want any settings, apps or pictures
    .. Everything gone... But I want to keep my contacts.

    How would I go about doing that? Thanks in advance guys.

    just make sure Contacts in iCloud is setup.


    Go to Settings > iCloud > and scroll down to contacts.

    Make sure this is ticked on.

    Then go to iCloud.com and sign in using your Apple ID ( same being used on the iPhone ) And then go to the contacts icon and see are they all there.

    If this is your first time doing this, leave the iPhone on overnight for iCloud to backup the contacts. Make sure they are there at iCloud.com before resetting iPhone.
