If you're more technically comfortable and want maximum control over which specific build you get, UUP Dump is an excellent alternative that still pulls files from Microsoft.
Here's how to use UUP Dump to potentially restore deleted pictures from iPhone:
Important: Before proceeding, ensure you have a valid backup of your iPhone's data, either created.
Requirements:
- A PC with Windows 10 or later
- UUP Dump software
- A backup of your iPhone's data created
Steps to use UUP Dump to restore deleted pictures from iPhone:
- Download and install UUP Dump on your PC.
- Launch UUP Dump and select the iPhone backup you want to extract data from. This backup should have been created through iTunes or iCloud.
- UUP Dump will scan the backup and extract the contents. You might need to wait for a while, depending on the size of the backup.
- Once the extraction is complete, navigate to the extracted files and look for the "Photos" folder.
- Within the "Photos" folder, you'll find the deleted pictures you were looking for. You can copy them to your PC or import them back to your iPhone.
Using UUP Dump requires a valid backup of your iPhone's data, and it's essential to ensure the backup is not corrupted. Additionally, be aware that UUP Dump is a third-party tool, and its effectiveness may vary depending on your specific situation.
