Kowloon, Hong Kong – November 10, 2026 -- Anyone who deleted photos or messages on an iPhone or iPad can now pull them from an iCloud backup without wiping the device, using iToolab's RecoverGo (iOS) software, starting at $19.95.
Apple's official restore method requires erasing all data on the device first. RecoverGo (iOS) lets users restore only what they need, such as photos, contacts, text messages, WhatsApp chats and notes. The software works even after the device has already been set up.
Preview files before restoring them
Users can preview data before recovery and pick only the items they want. Recovered files are saved to the computer rather than written back over the phone's current contents.
Three steps to recover from a backup
First, launch RecoverGo (iOS) and select Recover Data from iCloud Backup. Next, sign in to your iCloud account to retrieve the available backups. Finally, select a backup, preview the data you want and recover it.
iToolab says the tool is fully compatible with iOS 27 and the iPhone 18 series, and supports all iPhone and iPad models and iOS/iPadOS versions.
Four license options start at $19.95
The iCloud feature arrives in version 8.2.0. Registered users get the update free for life, and new users can download the latest version from the official website to try it.
RecoverGo (iOS) is sold in four license types: 1 Device Plan at $19.95, 1 Month Plan at $35.95, 1 Year Plan at $39.95 and Lifetime Plan at $49.95. iToolab is currently running a discount on the software.
