How to pull or extract contacts from iphone backup on PC?
Hi! I understand the frustration of losing contacts and trying to extract contacts from iPhone backup. While iTunes (or Finder on Mac) creates backups, it doesn't provide a built-in way to directly view or extract specific data like contacts on Windows.
How to extract contacts from iPhone backup:
1. Install one of the tools.
2. Connect your PC and load the iTunes backup.
3. Scan the backup with the tool.
4. Preview and selectively extract contacts.
Alternative: Use iCloud
* If your contacts are synced with iCloud, check iCloud.c0m on your PC.
* Sign in, go to Contacts, and see if the deleted contacts are there.
* If they’re still on iCloud, you can export them as vCards.
Use reputable software to avoid malware. Free versions often only allow preview, not full extraction, so consider the trial.
