Guide to backup and restore app data on iPhone and iPad

In case the app you want to restore data is not installed, iMazing will ask you to sign in to any App Store account - ever purchased that app, and then automatically download and install the app on iPhone (or iPad), then restore the data.
Step 6 : After a successful restore, the device will automatically reboot. Now you need to enter your screen unlock password on your iPhone (or iPad) if asked, then wait when iMazing announces Restore succeeded, then you can unplug the USB cable.
Some notes and tips when using iMazing software:
- You can back up application data from device A, then restore on device B.
- Use software to back up game data, extremely useful for games that do not support cloud sync.
The app you want to recover data from must be installed previously on your iPhone (or iPad). IMazing software can only recover data, cannot install apps that you do not own (have not purchased, or have never downloaded with your App Store account).
- Use iMazing to update new versions of apps installed on your iPhone (or iPad), or uninstall apps with just a few simple taps.
