What Dr. Fone Offers?

• Various Recoverable File Types

Unlike other apps and software, which only let recover specific file types like photos, Dr. Fone lets you recover contacts, WhatsApp messages and attachments, messages, call logs, audios, videos and documents. Basically, you can recover almost all file types with Dr. Fone. Furthermore, it additionally recovers deleted files from an SD card.

• Files Preview

After Dr. Fone scans your device for deleted or lost files, it lets you see a preview of the files. We can then go ahead and select the files we need to recover, which comes in extremely handy if you only want to recover specific files and not all of them.

• Support for almost Android devices

According to Wondershare, Dr. Fone’s data recovery features are compatible with more than 6,000 Android devices. Additionally, the tool supports both rooted as well as non-rooted devices, so we will be able to recover your Android device’s lost or deleted files using Dr. Fone.

• Security

Wondershare claims that the software program only reads data from your device to recover it. It does not modify, maintain or leak any of your data.

How to Use Dr. Fone

STEP 1:

Launch Dr. Fone from your PC or Mac and make sure your Android device has USB Debugging enabled. You can enable it in Settings->Developer Options.

Note: You can enable Developer Options by going to Settings->About Phone and tapping “Build Number” 7 times.

STEP 2:

Then, connect your Android device to the computer. You should get a prompt on your Android device asking you to allow USB Debugging.

STEP 3:

Once your device is connected, you will be straight away shown the different files types you can recover. Check the file types you are looking to recover and click on “Next“.

STEP 4:

The tool will then prompt you that it will try and apply “one-click root” on your device to gain access to all the files. Click on “Start“.

Note: The one-click root process only tries to root your device temporarily and does not invalid your warranty. Additionally, the process might not work on some devices but don’t worry, because Dr. Fone works even without root-access.

STEP 5:

 The process will then start, with the device information being matched and the one-click root process being applied. Your Android device will restart in the process but there’s nothing to worry about, so don’t disconnect it. The process should take a few minutes.

STEP 6:

Once the process is completed, the software will start scanning the device, after which you will see the left pane showing all the different file types and the number of files up for recovery.

STEP 7:

You can check out the previews, select all the files or specific files you want to recover and click the “Recover” button. Then, Dr. Fone will prompt you to set the location where you want to save the restored files.
