Can This Software Do What I Need?
The useful buying question is not simply whether a file was deleted, but where the data lived and whether the phone, card or backup can still be accessed by the recovery workflow.
-
I deleted SMS, contacts or call history from an Android phone
Text-data recovery
SupportedThe current supported-file matrix explicitly includes contacts, messages and call history. Contacts can be previewed before recovery and exported in formats such as VCF, CSV or HTML; deleted messages can be saved to the computer in readable formats.
-
I lost photos, videos, audio or documents from the phone or SD card
Media and document recovery
SupportedCamera roll, photo library, videos, audio and documents are listed as supported content. The product page also documents direct scanning of Android-connected SD cards for deleted files.
-
I need selected data from an existing Google Drive backup
Google Drive Data Recovery
SupportedFoneLab includes a separate Google Drive Data Recovery path. The current tutorial documents account sign-in, identity verification, data-type selection and local saving for supported backup data such as contacts, messages, calendar and call logs.
-
I need contact information stored on a SIM card
SIM-card information
SupportedThe product page lists SIM Card as a recovery source, and Aiseesoft's contact-recovery guide specifically describes retrieving contacts from Android phone memory or the SIM card.
-
I want to recover WhatsApp messages or attachments
WhatsApp recovery
SupportedWhatsApp is explicitly listed in the current text-data matrix, with WhatsApp attachments separately listed among supported media/data types.
-
I want every app's deleted chat history or private database recovered
App-specific data
Verify firstAiseesoft publishes separate guides for Facebook, Snapchat, Kik, notes and browser bookmarks, but its main compatibility list does not promise universal recovery for every app database. Treat the explicitly listed data categories as the safer purchase boundary.
-
My phone cannot be detected or I cannot authorize access
Device connection requirement
ConditionalDirect device scanning depends on establishing a connection and granting the requested access. The current tutorial uses USB connection, USB debugging, FoneGo installation and phone-side authorization before the data-type scan begins.
How It Works
The direct-device workflow and Google Drive workflow are separate, so start with the recovery source rather than treating every data-loss case as the same scan.
Recover Deleted Data Directly from an Android Device
- Open Aiseesoft FoneLab Android Data Recovery and choose Android Data Recovery.
- Connect the Android phone or tablet to the computer and follow the connection guidance if the device is not detected automatically.
- Enable USB debugging when prompted, install FoneGo through the guided device step and grant access to the data categories you want scanned.
- Choose the required data types, start the scan, preview the available results and recover only the items you need to the computer.
Recover Data from a Google Drive Backup
- Choose Google Drive Data Recovery from the FoneLab main screen.
- Sign in to the Google account that holds the backup and complete the identity-verification step requested by Google.
- Select the supported backup categories you want to retrieve, such as contacts, messages, calendar or call logs.
- Review the recovered data and save the selected items to a local folder on the Windows PC or Mac.
Recover Deleted Messages or Contacts Selectively
- Choose only Messages or Contacts before scanning when those records are the real recovery target.
- Use the result view to inspect details instead of restoring every detected record.
- Export the selected data to the computer in the format offered for that data type; contacts can use VCF, CSV or HTML, while message guides document CSV and HTML output.
Product Interface & Workflow
FoneLab separates Android recovery from the data-selection and preferences stages, so the source and scan scope are chosen before files are saved.
Compatibility & Coverage
Desktop compatibility covers both Windows and Mac, while Android support differs slightly by connection method: Aiseesoft lists USB support from Android 4.0 and wireless connection support from Android 5.0.
| Area | Current documented coverage | Decision note |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 11 · 10 · 8.1 · 8 · 7 · XP | Use the Windows purchase section for Windows activation. |
| macOS | Mac OS X 10.7 or higher · Apple M-series supported | Mac uses separate licenses and checkout products. |
| Android via USB | Android 4.0 or later, including Android 16 | The main recovery tutorial documents USB debugging, FoneGo installation and phone-side permission steps. |
| Android wireless connection | Android 5.0 or later, including Android 16 | The technical page lists wireless compatibility, while the detailed direct-recovery tutorial is USB-based. |
| Brands | Samsung · Sony · LG · HTC · Motorola · Huawei · Google Pixel · Xiaomi · ZTE and other listed Android devices | Check the current device list for a specific model before buying for older or uncommon hardware. |
| Text content | Contacts · Messages · Call History · WhatsApp | Aiseesoft explicitly lists these four text-data categories. |
| Media / attachments | Camera Roll · Photo Library · Videos · Audio · Documents · Message Attachments · WhatsApp Attachments | Use the current matrix instead of assuming every app-specific file is supported. |

Important Conditions & Limitations
Android recovery depends on device access, permissions and what data still exists. A listed recovery category is not a guarantee that every deleted record remains recoverable on every phone.
Direct Recovery Requires Device Access
The current tutorial requires the Android device to be detected, USB debugging to be enabled when requested, FoneGo to be installed and the requested data permissions to be granted. If those steps cannot be completed, the direct-device scan may not proceed.
Deep-Scan Requirements Can Vary by Device and Android Version
The current guide describes FoneGo and permission-based access, while several older Aiseesoft recovery guides describe root-assisted scans for specific Android recovery scenarios. Follow the prompts shown for the actual phone and recovery type rather than assuming every device uses the same access method.
Do Not Treat Every App as a Guaranteed Recovery Category
Aiseesoft publishes how-to articles for Facebook, Snapchat, Kik, notes and browser bookmarks, but those workflows differ by app and Android version. Its compatibility list explicitly names WhatsApp plus standard message and media categories, so other app databases should be verified before purchase.
Avoid Creating New Data After Deletion
Aiseesoft's device-recovery guidance warns against continued activity after data loss because new phone activity can reduce the chance of recovering deleted content. Start the recovery attempt before taking new photos, installing apps or generating unnecessary new data on the affected device.
Google Drive Recovery Is Backup Recovery
The Google Drive mode signs in to an existing Google account and extracts supported categories from available backup data. It should not be confused with scanning erased phone sectors that were never backed up to Google Drive.
A Detected Item Is Not a Recovery Guarantee
Deleted-data recovery is affected by what remains accessible on the device and whether newer activity has replaced the original data. The product can scan and preview supported categories, but no responsible purchase decision should assume every deleted item will be recoverable.
Free Trial / Free Version
Aiseesoft provides a free download for both Windows and Mac. A fixed free-recovery quota or time limit is not stated on the main product pages.

| Published free-recovery quota | No fixed quota stated | Do not assume a specific amount of data can be exported free unless the installed application states it. |

| Money-back policy | 30-day money-back guarantee for qualifying quality problems | The vendor's stated condition is tied to a quality problem within 30 days after purchase. |
System Requirements
The desktop hardware requirements are modest; the more important compatibility checks are the computer operating system, Android version and connection method used for the phone.
| Requirement | Current documented value | Decision note |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 11 · 10 · 8.1 · 8 · 7 · XP | Separate Windows license required. |
| macOS | Mac OS X 10.7 or higher | Apple M-series chips, including M5, are listed as supported. |
| CPU | 1 GHz Intel/AMD CPU or above | Vendor minimum for the Windows build. |
| RAM | 1 GB RAM or more | Vendor-listed minimum. |
| Disk space | 200 MB or more free space | Recovered files need additional destination storage beyond the application installation. |
| Android via USB | Android 4.0 or later, including Android 16 | Main recovery tutorial uses USB connection and USB debugging. |
| Android wireless | Android 5.0 or later, including Android 16 | Aiseesoft lists wireless support separately from USB compatibility. |
