Deleted an iPhone photo or lost messages after an update? Aiseesoft FoneLab scans iOS devices and backups for recoverable files, then lets you preview items before saving selected data to a PC.
Device and backup recovery
FoneLab offers three routes for iOS data recovery: scan a connected device, inspect an iTunes backup, or retrieve data from an iCloud backup. The device scan is the direct option when a backup is unavailable. For backup recovery, files can be selected for extraction to the computer instead of restoring an entire backup to the phone.
- Connect an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to scan its data.
- Choose an iTunes backup to browse its contents.
- Sign in to iCloud to scan synced data and select files from a backup.
Preview and selective export
After a scan, FoneLab displays recoverable items for inspection. Previewing helps identify the specific photo, message, note, or other file to retrieve; selected items can then be exported to the PC. This workflow is also available when working from a backup.
Recoverable data and photo repair
The supported data categories include photos and videos, contacts, messages, call history, notes, calendars, and Safari bookmarks and history. App-related categories include WhatsApp, LINE, Viber, and Kik data, along with app documents and videos. FoneLab also includes an AI photo-restoration feature for recovered images that appear blurry or damaged.
