Why Gbyte Recovery outperforms FonePaw in iPhone data recovery

Focused on the only recovery method that actually works

If other recovery tools lead to nothing, it’s not your fault. Their methods no longer work or require strict conditions.

Recovery results that never play tricks

Gbyte verifies every item, showing only accurate results you can trust.

Recover your lost data anytime, anywhere

Gbyte Recovery is the only tool that works anywhere on mobile, no desktop installation needed. Data loss doesn’t wait for you to be at a computer, so act immediately with Gbyte Recovery.

The widest app recovery coverage in the industry

If you can't find the data you're looking for with another tool, it's likely that type isn't supported. From messages and photos to third-party chats, Gbyte Recovery covers it all.

Don't just take our word for it

Took a chance on Gbyte Recovery after my phone was almost full and I regretted deleting old files to free up space. I had tried other apps, but they only showed what was still on my iPhone. To my surprise, Gbyte found files I thought were gone forever, including photos and messages deleted months ago! I’m not sure how it works, but the results were way better than anything else I’d tried.

I found an old iCloud backup from a phone I lost four years ago. I knew it had precious photos of my young kids, but I refused to reset my current phone just to view it, as most sites suggested. Since the scan was free and didn't require the old device, I tried Gbyte Recovery. It actually pulled up tons of data from that old backup! Seeing those memories again without wiping my current phone was incredible and a huge relief.

Unlike other 'lottery ticket' apps, Gbyte Recovery felt like real software. The scan was unexpectedly fast, showing chats, photos, voice notes—even old WhatsApp media I thought was gone. The preview made checking recoverable files super easy. Best of all, I could selectively restore specific conversations without rolling back my entire phone.
