Choose the category of the data you wish to recover and select the specific items from the list. After the analysis is completed, the program categorizes the available data into Personal, Media, and App Data. If the correct password is entered or guessed successfully, or if there’s no password, PhoneRescue will begin scanning the backup for available data. Here, you can use iMobie’s Password Recovery brute-force algorithms to attempt guessing the correct password based on specific parameters you provide. If you’ve lost or forgotten the password, you can click on the Forgot Password option, which takes you to the Password Recovery Settings interface. If the selected backup is encrypted, PhoneRescue will ask for the encryption password. If no backup is listed, you can browse your folders and manually select a backup file. PhoneRescue will now scan for existing backups on your computer. Open Phone Rescue and choose the second option under Data Recovery and click Next. If you already have an existing iOS backup on your computer, you may want to recover deleted or lost data from it instead of directly from the device.

Note #2: You may need to turn off Find My (or Find My iPhone/iPad) if you attempt to recover lost/deleted data directly to the device. Note #1: While creating the device backup, you may need to turn off Encrypted Backups in iTunes of macOS Finder. Once the recovery process completes, you may return to the previous screen or go to the home screen of the program. Once you have selected the specific items to recover, you can either choose to export them to your computer or (in case of deleted data) recover to your device. You can filter the item list to show all data, only deleted data, or only existing data. To recover and data, select the appropriate category from the left panel and choose the items that you wish to recover from your iOS device.

The program attempts to create a backup of your iPhone or iPad, scans the backup data, and then lists it under various categories depending on the type (such as Contacts, Call History, Messages, Voicemail, Calendar, Notes & Reminders, Safari Bookmarks & History, Photos, Personal Videos, etc.) This option is handy for recovering deleted or lost iOS data directly from the device.
