Overview: Restoring missing Android information
Losing photos, messages, or contacts from a phone can happen in an instant — accidental taps, system updates, or malware can all cause important files to disappear. Android Data Recovery is a desktop utility designed to scan Android devices and recover a wide range of lost items from both internal storage and SD cards. It targets not only media and documents but also communications data such as contacts, call logs, and text messages.
Data types the tool can recover
- Media files: photos, videos (including camera recordings and downloaded clips), and audio such as voice memos and recordings.
- Chat and attachments: WhatsApp conversations and media files that were deleted from the device.
- Documents and archives: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, HTML, and compressed file formats.
- Contacts: full contact entries including names, job titles, phone numbers, and email addresses.
- Call history and SMS: detailed call logs (numbers, names, dates, types, durations) and complete text messages (content, timestamps, sender/recipient, attachments).
Export and save options
The app offers several export formats so you can keep a usable copy on your computer:
- CSV, HTML, and VCF formats for contact export.
- Individual file recovery saved in their original formats (images, audio, video, documents).
- Option to back up current device data to a PC without requiring root access.
Typical recovery scenarios
Android Data Recovery is useful when data loss happens due to a variety of causes:
- Accidental deletion of files or contacts.
- Formatting of memory or SD card.
