We're starting July with an update for iPhone Backup Extractor.

After three and a half years of version 7, we're hard at work on iPhone Backup Extractor 8, due later this summer. Once we release that, we're going to be taking a more structured approach in tying new features to major version updates (8.0, 8.1, 8.2) and so on, and fixes in the release in between those.

In the meantime, what's new today? Let's take a look.

• Feature iOS 14 beta support. Hurrah! We showing all messages in chronological order rather than using the new threaded format, but that'll be coming soon.
• Improvement We've improved the user flow when a 2FA prompt is entered incorrectly whilst accessing iCloud.
• Fix Extraction of content over 2.1 GB from USB-connected devices wasn't working. Now it is.

That's right, it's time for an iPhone Backup Extractor update. What's new today? Quite a bit. Today's build is ostensibly a fix build but it contains much of the work necessary for us to ship a new feature. Which we'll probably be doing in the next release.

• Fix We've hidden the overview and app view for Watch data; only "Expert mode" is now available for watches. We've also fixed expert mode — in some cases, it was showing all files from the parent device. We've made these changes to make analysis of watch data more intuitive.
• Fix Some users received a TaskCancelledException when downloading large files from iCloud Photo Library.
• Fix Recovery of Screen Time passcodes wasn't working for some users on iOS 12. Now it is. Sorry for any inconvenience. iOS 13 unaffected.

• Fix We've resolved a problem whereby cancelling extraction of data wasn't always possible. Now it is.
• Fix Extracting a lot of messages with Digital Touch drawings on Mac was sometimes failing. Now it works!

• Fix We've changed a few things behind the scenes to make other parts of iPhone Backup Extractor more robust.

Apple made a number of changes to iCloud at the start of April, and we've been busy updating iPhone Backup Extractor to support those changes. Today's release has restored full support for iCloud Photo Library and contacts. We've got more work to do for other iCloud data types, and we're balancing those changes alongside deepening this functionality and addressing user requests for other new features.

• Feature Support for iCloud Photo Library and contacts — again! — following Apple's recent changes.

Well, hello. We're back with another update to iPhone Backup Extractor. We've been juggling a few fairly big updates here. This is the first of them, with a user-interface change we've been keen to make for a little while. We hope you like it. Let us know!

• Feature Rather than showing information on a selected backup or device at the top of the app's window, we now show it in a new vertical column. We've made this change because we think it makes the app more intuitive, flowing from one side of the screen to the other, and because it frees up screen space for us to ship some of the features in our plan for the year. It harks back a little to an earlier incarnation of the app's design.
• Improvement We've taken the time to pretty-up our "Expert mode" and "Information" panes, and we've renamed "App view" to "Other data". We've got a further follow-up planned for the interface in the near future, and this has set us up well for it.
• Improvement We've disabled two instructional message overlays about iCloud and extraction time that we thought weren't helpful on balance.
• Improvement We've removed the Hike Post previewer, but kept support for Hike Messages. If you find yourself still needing to export Hike Posts, please reach out to us.
• Fix We've resolved an issue on Windows whereby rictl wouldn't show battery percentages for connected devices.
• Fix Sometimes device images wouldn't show properly on Windows. They do now.
• Fix We've resolved an issue whereby scrolling the Information view on macOS someones wouldn't work. Now it does.
