It has often happened to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, that I have deleted something that I later needed. A photograph, a message, a video that I later regret having deleted. Perhaps the deletion was voluntary or perhaps it happened to me by mistake in one of those cumbersome iTunes updates that exist when you change computers. However, a few days ago I discovered a program that puts an end to this situation by recover all the data you have deleted. The program in question is named after Dr.fone and has been developed by Wondershare company.
What can you do with dr.fone?
With dr.fone you can connect your iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod) to your computer (Mac or Windows) and select from where you want to retrieve the information. You can choose three ways; recover from device, recover from iTunes sync, and recover from iCloud if you have an account.
The program takes a while to analyze your data and the analysis time varies according to two factors; on the one hand the Storage capacity of your device and on the other hand the selected recovery path. In this way, if you choose to recover information from the device, the analysis takes substantially less (about 2 minutes in my case) than if, for example, you choose to recover the information from iCloud (approximately 40 minutes in my case). offers you the application (photos, videos, messages) depending on the recovery method is virtually the same.
However, if you choose to do a recovery through iTunes, for example, then you will have to do one more step and select the backup you want to restore. Obviously if you have never made a backup in iTunes then you will not be able to recover anything in this way.
What is it that you can and cannot take back?
With the application in question you can recover practically everything you have deleted assuming that the information has not been overwritten. It is important to highlight this point since Dr.fone is not able to recover EVERYTHING, only that which has not been later overwritten, if this is the case then the information cannot be recovered by any means. Therefore it is important before purchasing the subscription to the service download the free version where it shows you exactly what you can recover. Thus, in the event that the information you want to recover is not available, then you do not waste your time or money.
Let's talk about the interface
The service interface is incredibly intuitive. On the left side of the application you have a window that divide the information into categories and on the right side, occupying almost the entire screen, is the recovered information. The information is divided into three sections; photos and videos, messages and call logs and memories and others. By checking the box of the section that interests you, you will see the deleted information along with the information on the device. If you want you can choose view only deleted information.
How do you retrieve the information?
The recovery process is relatively simple. Once you can see the objects, photos, notes etc. that you have deleted, you will have the option to recover the data at the bottom of the window. Just click on recover to be able to recover the deleted data from your iOS device directly within the gadget.
It should also be noted that message recovery is not limited to text messages sent with your device through native programs. I mean, also you can recover deleted WhatsApp data so you are not limited to native applications, a great plus for the application.
The best of Dr. Phone
- It has an intuitive and simple interface.
- It doesn't take more than a couple of minutes to analyze your device.
- Ability to retrieve WhatsApp messages in addition to "normal" messages.
- You can selectively recover the information, choosing what to recover and what not, unlike, for example, iTunes.
The worst of Dr. Phone
- The service is licensed per operating system. That is, the Mac license for a Windows computer is not valid and vice versa.
- Analysis time from iCloud is not optimal and may take 30-40 minutes.
- If the information is overwritten then it cannot be recovered (although this is not the fault of the program).
How to download the application
Dr.Fone is available directly on the developers' website and it is possible to download a free version that allows you to view all the content that you can recover. If you really want to recover it then you will have to buy a license for the application.
Very good! of the most useful that you have published. Thanks!
