iPhone Data Recovery – FAQs
Yes, iPhone data recovery is possible—as long as your deleted data hasn’t been overwritten.
Professional iPhone data recovery software like Dr.Fone – Data Recovery (iOS) works by scanning your device storage, iTunes backups, or iCloud backups to locate recoverable data that iOS no longer shows.
Unlike many low-quality tools, Dr.Fone runs read-only scans, never modifies your iPhone data, and processes everything locally on your computer—your files are never uploaded to any server. This is why it’s widely trusted by millions of users and recommended in Apple user communities.
It’s developed by Wondershare, a reputable software company with millions of users worldwide. Dr.Fone does not contain malware or any harmful components. During the recovery process, the software works in a read-only manner and 100% of your data stays on your local computer (nothing is uploaded to servers). In other words, your privacy is fully protected and your iPhone isn’t modified by the scanning. Dr.Fone has been a pioneer in mobile data recovery for years, with a proven track record of helping users successfully retrieve lost data – it’s definitely not a scam or “too good to be true.” You can trust Dr.Fone as a safe solution to recover your important iPhone files.
- It uses read-only scanning technology, meaning your existing data is never altered or overwritten.
- All recovery operations happen offline on your computer, and your Apple ID credentials are encrypted when accessing iCloud backups.
- Compared to many competitors, Dr.Fone collects no personal data and performs no background uploads.
Yes, it’s possible to recover data from an iPhone even without any iTunes or iCloud backup.
Dr.Fone’s advanced iPhone Data Recovery can scan your device directly to find deleted files on the internal storage. It can retrieve lost photos, videos, contacts, messages, notes, WhatsApp chats, and more straight from the device memory. The crucial factor is that those files haven’t been overwritten by new data yet.
For the best chance of success, stop using your iPhone immediately after noticing the data loss – do not download new apps, take new photos, or create new data, as this could overwrite the deleted items. Then run Dr.Fone’s recovery scan as soon as possible. It will locate any recoverable data and allow you to save it to your computer without needing a prior backup. Many users have successfully recovered lost data with Dr.Fone even when no iCloud or iTunes backup existed, thanks to the software’s powerful direct-scanning technology.
If a backup exists, Dr.Fone also allows selective recovery from iCloud or iTunes without restoring your entire iPhone.
Absolutely. Dr.Fone allows you to scan and preview all recoverable data for free – you only need to purchase a license if you see your lost files and decide to recover them.
In the free trial mode, you can run a full scan of your iPhone (or iCloud/iTunes backup) and then browse everything that the software found: deleted photos, messages, contacts, notes, etc., complete with details and thumbnails. This way, you know in advance exactly what can be recovered at no cost. It’s a no-risk, transparent process: you won’t be paying unless you’re confident the data you need is retrievable. Dr.Fone pioneered this approach to ensure users trust the results. You can even use the free preview to verify things like the quality of photos or the content of messages. In summary, you get to see your lost data for free first – and only if you’re satisfied will you proceed to actually recover (export) the items with the paid version.
- No Risk:The initial scan and preview are free, so you won’t be charged unless the software finds your missing data and you choose to recover it.
- Transparency: Dr.Fone shows you the recoverable files (with full details) upfront. You can confirm it’s able to get back your valuable data before you make any commitment – no surprises or false promises.
Yes, you can recover data from a dead or broken iPhone by using a specialized computer program like Dr.Fone – Data Recovery (iOS). If your computer can’t detect the device, Dr.Fone lets you recover data by scanning your existing iTunes or iCloud backups instead. This means even if your iPhone won’t turn on, has a black screen, or is stuck in a boot loop, your data may still be accessible. Here’s the easiest way to do it:
- Step 1: Launch Dr.Fone on your PC or Mac and connect the broken iPhone via USB. Go to the Data Recovery module. If your iPhone still powers on and the computer recognizes it, choose “Recover from iOS Device.” (If the device is not detected at all, skip to Step 3.)
- Step 2: Select the types of data you want to retrieve (photos, contacts, messages, etc.) and start the scan. Dr.Fone will deeply scan the iPhone’s storage for recoverable data.
- Step 3: If the iPhone can’t be detected, don’t worry – Dr.Fone can also recover from your backups. Choose “Recover from iTunes Backup” or “Recover from iCloud Backup.” Sign in to your iCloud account or pick an iTunes backup file, and let Dr.Fone scan it for your data.
- Step 4: Preview the found files and save them to your computer. You can selectively recover the items you need instead of restoring everything.
Important: As long as the broken iPhone can turn on and be recognized by the computer, Dr.Fone can likely get your data back. If the iPhone is completely dead (won’t power on at all and no backup is available), then no software can directly access it – in that case you’d have to rely on existing backups or consult a professional data recovery service.

Dr.Fone supports recovery of over 35 iOS data types.
This includes photos, videos, contacts, text messages, WhatsApp chats, notes, call history, Safari bookmarks, and more.
It works across multiple scenarios—accidental deletion, iOS update failure, system crash, or device damage—making it one of the most comprehensive iPhone data recovery tools available.
You do not install Dr.Fone on the iPhone itself – instead, install Dr.Fone on your computer (Windows or Mac) and run the recovery from there. Apple’s iOS doesn’t allow third-party apps deep access to the file system, which means on-phone “data recovery” apps from the App Store cannot actually retrieve deleted files effectively. In fact, downloading new apps or even continuing to use your iPhone after data is lost is dangerous because it can overwrite the very data you want to recover. That’s why the recommended method is to use a desktop program like Dr.Fone: it will safely scan your iPhone via your computer without causing further changes on the device.
How to use it: Simply download and install Dr.Fone on your PC/Mac, connect your iPhone with a USB cable, and let the software do the work. All the heavy lifting happens on the computer. This approach is safe for your device – the software only reads the data; it doesn’t write or modify anything on the iPhone itself. We have tested many so-called phone-based recovery apps and found that none of them could truly recover data (due to iOS restrictions). By using Dr.Fone on your computer, you’ll avoid those pitfalls. It’s a trusted, read-only process that maximizes your chances of retrieving data while keeping your iPhone and its content intact.
Yes – Dr.Fone can automatically save View Once media on your computer before it disappears from the chat. The software works in real-time: once you connect Dr.Fone to your WhatsApp via a secure QR code login (just like linking WhatsApp Web on your PC), it runs in the background to capture any View Once photo or video as soon as you open it. The moment someone sends you a View Once image and you view it, Dr.Fone will save a copy of that file to your computer. This means even after WhatsApp deletes the media from the conversation, you have it preserved and can view it anytime. It’s a seamless process – you don’t have to do anything additional beyond the initial setup of scanning the QR code.
Using this feature is completely safe for your WhatsApp account and data. Dr.Fone uses the official WhatsApp Web connection method (the same one provided by WhatsApp), so it doesn’t hack or violate any security rules. All the WhatsApp data is processed locally on your computer; nothing is uploaded to Dr.Fone’s servers. Your messages and media remain end-to-end encrypted as usual – Dr.Fone is merely acting as a trusted client (similar to WhatsApp Web) to save the media. This ensures your privacy and account safety are fully maintained. In summary, you really can beat the “View Once” limitation with Dr.Fone, and you can do it without worry: the process is secure, your WhatsApp stays under your control, and no one else can access those saved photos/videos except you.
