If you are an iPhone user, most likely you have encountered the frustrating issue of accidentally reset iPhone without backup when your device is dead or lost. The easiest way to recover your lost file is to retrieve it from a backup. However, you may not have backed up your data, or your iPhone may lose backup after factory resetting. In that case, what should you do to recover erased iPhone without backup?
This guide discusses several ways to recover data from iPhone without backup. Make sure you take a look at it if you want to get back your lost files.
Q1. Can Data Be Recovered After Deletion Without Backup?
Yes, you can. When files go missing on your iPhone due to deletion, or factory resetting, they are not completely erased from the phone. They are moved to the "unallocated" folder from the "Allocated" folder. So, with iPhone recovery software, it is possible to access the iOS database and restore lost files without a backup.
Q2. Can You Recover Data After Factory Reset on iPhone Without Backup?
There is a possibility, but most recovery programs can hardly find lost data from iOS devices after resetting. Normally, factory resetting an iPhone erases all data and settings on your device, returning it to its factory state. Besides, the existing files are overwritten with new files during the reset process, which makes them unrecoverable.
Q3. Is It Possible to Recover Data from Lost iPhone Without Backup?
No. When the iPhone gets lost, you'll no longer have access to it. Data recovery will need a direct connection to the iPhone or its backup files, which isn't possible without the device.
