How Do I Get Back to iOS Setup Assistant Screen?
So, as we have already mentioned, how to set up your iPhone for first use, but what if you have made any mistake during the setup process and now want to change it. Well, to do so, there aren’t many tricks available; you have to reset your iPhone.

While restoring your backup, ensure your phone is connected to wifi and plugged into your charger. Meanwhile, if you are not familiar with iOS, make sure to perform the further steps mentioned to backup your iPhone’s data.
