2. Ways to recover data on iphone

In principle, there are 4 ways to recover data on iphone. Depending on the actual situation and conditions so you can choose which way.

Method 1: restore iPhone data using an iCloud backup.

If you regularly back up your iOS device to iCloud, and you are sure your files and data are on the iCloud backup. Restore the data from that iCloud backup.

If you have an iCloud backup but aren't sure if your important data was in the iCloud backup. I recommend that you restore content from an iCloud backup to another device.
This is very important because if you unfortunately do not find the lost data in your iCloud backup you still have another chance to restore the data on the device.

Method 2: restore iPhone data from iTunes backup files.

Similar to iCloud backup, iTunes backup also allows you to restore your iphone back to the location where you backed it up. You should also be sure about when you backed up iTunes, both methods 1 and 2 can help your device recover but only restore the exact moment you backed up. Therefore, these 2 methods are very reliable but also cannot recover 100% of your data at all times.

Method 3: restore iPhone data by hardware replacement and applying high-end techniques.

This way is only for the case your data is lost is extremely important and your ios device is severely damaged by fire, explosion . and you don't have any iCloud backup or iTunes backup. . This method you can not do by yourself, you have to go to the data recovery centers, the technicians at these centers will remove your device, take the data storage parts on the device. and insert it into other devices to read the data. This is a difficult way to do it and I hope we don't get caught up in this.

Method 4: recover iPhone data by scanning directly on the device.

Like all other data storage devices, iphone also has a data storage unit, namely memory chips. When data is stored on these memory chips, data is only lost when overwritten by other data, or damaged by electric shock or physical impact.

The user manipulation of data deletion on the iphone is just placing the command marking the location of the memory chips in the "empty" state and ready to wait for being overwritten by other data operations. So the data is still there and we can use the software to scan and restore.

The method of using software and scanning directly on the device to recover lost data is the safest and most effective method. You can do it yourself at home, with no technical requirements. This method can recover all iPhone data loss cases that I have listed above, including your iPhone with hardware failure.

In the framework of this article, I will especially focus on guiding you to use this method to recover data on iphone.
