After losing all my data on my iPhone 7, due to an encrypted backup in which I didn't not set an encryption key, I cried for days having lost 25,000 photos, all my contacts, voice memos, notes, etc. I reread the Reincubate article. I had read it the first night, but by this time I became desperate enough to reach out. They were able to work with me to recover the password and I was able to restore my data!

Today I thanked God for giving mind to the people who created this program! Thanks to you, I had tears of happiness! All my 33,000 photos have been restored. THANK YOU FROM THE SINCERITY!!! With love from Ukraine!

I lost 10 years of some incredibly important and emotionally significant info when I changed over from an iPhone 11 to a 13Pro and the app that I had been using all these years suddenly disappeared and was nowhere to be found. Contacting Apple was a TOTAL waste of time. I saw the Reincubate program advertised when trying to find a way to get the data back, and man oh man, apparently EVERYTHING could be done!

Third-party data includes WhatsApp, Kik, Viber, WeChat and Tinder. It also supports many more apps via its App View and Expert Mode functions.
Is iPhone Backup Extractor free?
iPhone Backup Extractor is available in both free and paid editions. The free edition lets you recover any file or data from an iPhone or iPad backup, but only four files at a time. You can recover all of your files by going through them four at a time if you need, though.
Does it support Windows or Mac?
iPhone Backup Extractor runs on any modern Mac (macOS 10.11 or newer) and any modern PC (Windows 7 SP1 or newer).
Can you recover data from an iCloud backup?
iCloud backup data retrieval is not possible as of May 2020, following Apple's changes. There are two alternatives: our support team can guide you through creating a temporary iTunes backup as a workaround, or you can use real-time iCloud data by choosing the account from the left-hand navigation in iPhone Backup Extractor.
How do I use iPhone Backup Extractor?
Check out the iPhone Backup Extractor product manual for guidance on how to get started with the app. This runs you through installation and, if you opt for the paid edition, activation. Once set up, read our tips for navigating its interface and exploring available backups.
How can I find my iPhone backup files?
Where backups are stored depends on your platform. On macOS they are under
/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, while on
Windows you'll find them under
\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup. It is also
possible to change the default folder.
