Quick Recovery Check: What Should You Try First?
Start with the simplest source. If the data is not there, move to the next available recovery path.
| Your situation | Try this first | How Dr.Fone can help |
|---|---|---|
| Recently deleted data | Check Apple’s Recently Deleted options first. | Check other supported device, backup, or cloud sources if needed. |
| No iCloud or iTunes backup | Scan the device and check available iCloud-synced data or iCloud Drive. | Run a supported device or cloud-source scan and preview the results before recovery. |
| iCloud Backup available | Choose a backup from before the data loss. | Preview and selectively recover supported data without restoring the whole backup to the device. |
| iTunes or local backup available | Check the backup date and the data it contains. | Preview supported data and export only the files you need. |
| Broken or black-screen iPhone | If the device is recognized, try a device scan. If not, check backups and cloud sources. | Direct scanning depends on whether the device can communicate with the computer. |
| Permanently deleted data | Check another backup, synced copy, app source, or device. | Dr.Fone can scan available supported sources, but recovery cannot be guaranteed if no accessible copy remains. |
