Owning an iPhone means dealing with iTunes for managing your data. Unfortunately, that’s not always easy, requiring clunky syncing and confusing menus. For iPhone data recovery, it isn’t much better, requiring a wholesale restoration of your device. It would be a lot nicer if you could just target and move the data you want.

An app like Joyoshare iPhone recovery for Mac offers a welcome alternative. Rather than a broad restoration, it allows for targeting and recovering more than 20 specific types of iPhone data.

So whether it’s photos, videos, contacts, messages, notes, call logs or pretty much anything else, you can recover it. And you can do it without having to overwrite your entire device.

Joyoshare: An easier alternative to iTunes

The value of this becomes clear when comparing Joyoshare to iTunes.

If you’re looking to recover iOS data through iTunes, you connect the device to your Mac, click “Restore from backup,” and write over the entire contents of your iPhone. With Joyoshare, you can do the same thing — or you can choose which specific files to recover, including from iTunes or iCloud backups or the iPhone itself.

Plug in the phone, select “Restore from iTunes,” and then find the backup folder with the messages, photos or other data you want to recover. From there, just select the specific data types and run a scan to find them. You’ll be able to search the data that’s currently on a device, or anything deleted from it.

After the scan, the files are visible in your Mac’s Finder so you can easily review before recovering them. Once you’ve selected the specific photos, texts or any other data you’re looking for, just click “Recover” and voila — you’ve got your files back.

It’s a similar process for restoring from iCloud, iTunes or the iPhone itself. In each case, Joyoshare honors encryption and passwords on files and backups. (You’ll need to remember your passwords in order to access encrypted files and backups.)

Keeping iPhone data recovery simple

Joyoshare is compatible with a wide range of devices, from iPhone 4S to all the latest iOS 12 devices: iPhone X, iPhone XS/XS Max/XR, iPad Pro and the rest. So this a great way for new iOS users to get a grip on personal data right out the gate.

It also offers an extra degree of control over personal files and data that doesn’t require any additional tech knowledge. The interface is clean and intuitive. If you can navigate a Finder window, you can find and restore the files you want.

There’s a lot to be said for the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’ve got a way to recover iPhone photos on Mac, or track down a missing video or text exchange.

If you’re interested in gaining a more direct line on the files on your iOS devices, give Joyoshare a try. The free trial will give you a sense of how easy it is to work with as an iPhone data recovery tool. The full version runs about $50, and comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, along with 24-hour tech support and free updates for life.

Recovering lost iPhone data should be easy and painless. And with Joyoshare, it is.
