Instead, you need to connect your phone to a computer that installs and runs the program. PhoneRescue isn’t a mobile app that’s installed on your iOS/Android device. Also, it’s worth noting that the app isn’t available on the Mac App Store.

I highly recommend you not download the program from third-party download sites due to security concerns. The best place to get the latest version of PhoneRescue is to visit the official website of iMobie and download it there. To actually recover and save your files, you’ll need the full version - activated by purchasing a legal software license. However, you can’t save or export the files. The trial is totally free to download, use, and allows you to scan and preview certain types of files that it finds. PhoneRescue has two versions: trial and full. That said, I still recommend you back up your phone or tablet before using the program. When you attempt to recover files, it’ll ask your permission before accessing data from iCloud, for example. The scanning process performs read-only procedures and thus won’t affect your existing device data. PhoneRescue is 100% free of viruses or malware and doesn’t contain bundled third-party programs. I tested the program on my HP laptop (Windows 10 based) and MacBook Pro (macOS). You can use it to directly scan an iOS/Android device to recover deleted files, extract iTunes and iCloud backups to restore your lost files, and repair iOS device issues. It is a software developed by iMobie (an Apple Certified Developer) to help mobile phone users rescue deleted or lost data. iMobie has launched several updates since our last review, one of which is that the program now supports recovering data from Android devices.
