And it's wise to make a backup before upgrading your device. However, if you forget to perform this action and now unfortunately lost your data, or you just mistakenly deleted some data on your iPhone/iPad, how to recover them back? No worry, you still have the chance to bring them back, and this article is here to help you out.

Of course, we can't directly locate these lost data. So before we get started, I'd like to recommend a prefessional data recovery tool for iOS devices.

Step 2: Scan your device to locate lost data.

Connect your iPhone or iPad to the program with an USB cable, select Recover from iOS Device mode on the main interface, click on the Start button. You are allowed to select your desired data to scan if you don't want to do a full scanning of your device. Then click on Next to start scanning your iOS device, it may take some time according to the size of your data.

Step 3: Select lost data to recover to PC or device.

After Syncios Data Recovery finished scanning and analyzing your iOS device, all found data would be listed on the panel. You can simply click on each category to check, click Only display deleted data to find your lost data easily.

Of course, please take note that the success rate of data recovery is affected by many factors, so we can't ensure you we must be able to recover your deleted data. To increase the success rate of recovering deleted data from iOS 12 device directly, it is recommended that please do not perform any operation to your data after lost them, like adding new items or deleting some items, once you overwrote the data, the less chance you can recover them.
