What does Aiseesoft iOS Data Backup & Recovery do?

It creates one-click, selective backups of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch data to a computer and restores that data when needed. You can back up more than 20 data categories, including messages and attachments, contacts, call history, voicemail, photos, videos, notes, calendar, Safari data, and chat apps such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Line, Kik, Viber, QQ and Messenger. Every new backup is kept separately, so a fresh backup never overwrites an earlier one, and you can lock any backup with your own password. This makes it a practical way to keep a dated, offline copy of an iPhone before an iOS update, a repair, or a device trade-in.

Does it recover deleted files that were never backed up?

No. This tool only restores data from backups it created itself; it cannot scan an iPhone for files that were deleted before any backup existed. If your photos or messages are already gone and you have no prior backup, you need the separate Aiseesoft iPhone Data Recovery (FoneLab) tool, which scans the device and iTunes or iCloud backups directly. The role of this product is preventive: make a local backup now so a future loss is fully recoverable. When restoring, the program automatically detects only the backup files this program produced, not backups made by other software.

Which data types and devices does it support?

It backs up over 20 data categories from iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, covering messages and attachments, contacts, call history, voicemail, notes, photos, videos, audio, voice memos, calendar, reminders, Safari bookmarks and history, app documents, and the chat histories of WhatsApp, WeChat, Line, Kik, Viber, QQ and Messenger with their attachments. Device support runs from older models like the iPhone 4S up to the latest iPhone 17 series, including iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. The program is available for both Windows and Mac, so the same workflow applies regardless of your computer. This breadth matters when you want one backup that captures both standard Apple data and third-party messenger conversations in a single pass.

Can I restore a backup directly back to my iPhone?

Only Contacts and Notes (with attachments) can be restored straight back onto an iOS device; all other data types are restored to your computer instead. In practice, you can push saved contacts onto a new iPhone, but messages, call history, photos and chat data come back as files on your PC or Mac rather than being reinserted into the phone. This is a genuine limitation to weigh if your goal is a complete phone-to-phone migration. For pure contact transfer between an old and new iPhone it works directly, which is its strongest restore-to-device use case.

How is it different from iTunes and iCloud backups?

Unlike iTunes and iCloud, it lets you choose specific data types, preview backup contents before restoring, and keep multiple backups that never overwrite each other. iTunes and iCloud restores are all-or-nothing and replace the current device state, while this tool stores backups locally and lets you encrypt them with your own password. Because backups sit on your own computer, they do not consume iCloud storage and remain accessible without an internet connection. That control is useful when you only want to recover, for example, one set of notes or contacts rather than rolling an entire device back to a previous state.

Does it move WhatsApp or other data between iPhone and Android?

No. It is an iOS-only backup and restore tool and does not transfer data to or from Android devices. It can back up and restore WhatsApp chats and attachments within the iOS-to-computer scope, but cross-platform WhatsApp migration between iPhone and Android requires a different product, such as a dedicated phone-transfer application. Buyers whose main goal is switching a phone number's chat history from iOS to Android should not choose this tool. For staying inside the Apple ecosystem and keeping a local WhatsApp backup, it does the job.

Frequently asked questions about Aiseesoft iOS Data Backup & Recovery

Do I need an Apple ID or internet connection to use it?

No. Backups are saved to a folder you choose on your own computer and the restore process reads those local files, so no Apple ID sign-in or internet connection is required. This keeps the workflow independent of iCloud account access and storage limits.

Will backing up or restoring erase anything on my iPhone?

No. During backup the program only reads data from the device, and the manufacturer states there is no data loss on the iOS device throughout the process. Your iPhone should be in a normal state, not recovery or DFU mode, for the backup to run.

Does it work with the latest iPhone and iOS version?

Yes. It supports up to the iPhone 17 series and iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, while still covering older devices back to the iPhone 4S. Desktop versions are available for both Windows and current macOS releases.
