The practical data recovery tool PhoneRescue provides three different modes to rescue iPhone data. It helps to recover data directly from your iPhone or from iTunes or iCloud backups. The list of the recoverable files is long – photos, videos, text messages, contacts, calendar entries, reminders, and notes, as well as voice mails, ringtones, music, Safari history and many other file types. We show you in this article how to rescue lost data from your iPhone as an example.

Recover data on your iPhone

Before you can bring back deleted data from your iPhone, you have to download PhoneRescue from the iMobie website to your Mac or Windows PC.

After the successful program registration and installation, you can start using the software. Open the PhoneRescue software by double-clicking the icon on your computer and connect your iPhone to the PC via USB chord. Your iPhone usually should be recognized by the program so that you don’t have to do much at this point.

It opens a window with four options for the data recovery. Choose Recover from iOS Device on the left and then click the arrow button at the bottom right. This will start the iPhone scan.

You can display only lost items by clicking the drop-down menu at the top left of the list and choosing Only list deleted.

In addition, you can choose what types of files you want to recover. Just click the app icons in the left column.
