How does that compare with other data recovery apps? I performed the same test with nine competitors, and UltData was the fastest. You can select which types of data to scan for to minimize the time required. To find out, I added six test items to my personal 256 GB iPhone 7 then deleted them: a contact, photo, Apple note, voice memo, calendar event, and Pages document. Scanning for lost files can be time-consuming.

For other types of data (and all types when using the Mac version) you will need root access. The Windows version is able to recover deleted photos and WhatsApp messages without rooting your phone. You may need to root your Android phone to recover data from it.

In time, it will be overwritten by new information, so it’s important to attempt recovery as early as possible. How is data recovery possible? When you delete information from your phone, it is not actually removed but is simply marked as available space.

Its scan was faster than any other app I tested. I discovered that it was unable to recover all of my lost data and that the same is true of other mobile recovery apps. In this review, we’ll focus on the Mac app, but will also touch on the Windows app for Android. The prices are presented as special deals on the website but have been the same every time I checked over the last few years.Ī free trial will show you if your data can be recovered before paying for the application, but unfortunately, it doesn’t allow you to preview all files. The apps run on a single computer and can recover data from up to five devices.
