Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I need to jailbreak my iPhone to recover data?
No. MobieArk works on non-jailbroken devices and supports all recent iOS versions. Jailbreaking is neither required nor recommended, and the software never modifies your iOS firmware.
-
Can I recover data without my iPhone?
Yes. The iCloud recovery mode works entirely remotely — you only need the Apple ID used on the device. This is the method to use when your iPhone is lost, stolen, broken or will not power on.
-
Is it safe to use? What happens to my Apple ID and data?
All scanning and recovery runs locally on your computer; your data is never uploaded to us. Apple ID sign-in is handled through Apple's official authentication flow, so MobieArk never sees or stores your password, and the connection is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption.
-
Can you recover data that was deleted more than 30 days ago?
Yes. Apple's built-in recovery window is limited to 30 days, but MobieArk's deep scan reaches further back, including data that appears permanently deleted — and it can recover items deleted over 30 days ago.
