How to view or explore iPhone backup files on my PC?
As what i know. Accessing and exploring iPhone backup on Windows can be somewhat tricky because of the way Apple stores backup data. The backup files are stored in a format that isn't directly readable or organized in a user-friendly way. Instead, they contain many files with scrambled or non-descriptive filenames, and the data is often stored in a proprietary or encrypted format.
This complexity is why specialized software tools are typically needed—they can interpret the backup data, decrypt it if necessary, and present it in an understandable way, allowing you to browse, view, and explore iPhone backup data like messages, photos, contacts, etc.
So, while the process is manageable with the right tools, it does require some effort and the use of trusted software designed specifically for this purpose.
