According to Digital Trends, the Factory Reset doesn't overwrite the data, it just deletes the internal address of the data. This means your data is still there, but that space is marked as "available for use" and it's treated like empty space. It is possible someone with the right recovery tools can access the raw data.
You'll want to make sure your data is encrypted before doing the reset, so that if someone does try to access it, the encryption will keep them from being able to read it.
On the Galaxy, go to Settings, then Lock Screen and Security and then Protect Encrypted Data.
Now that the data is encrypted, you can go to Settings, then General Management, then Reset, then Factory Data Reset.
iOS
If your iPhone has a passcode, it is already encrypted, which is good.
If you have enabled Find My iPhone, now is the time to turn it off.
While I know how to wipe an iPhone, I did look up the procedure on iMore.com, which is a great website for all things MacOS and iOS.
