Tips: Before running Dr.Fone, you're supposed to download the latest version of iTunes. To avoid the automatic sync, don't launch iTunes when running Dr.Fone. I suggest you disable the automatic sync in iTunes beforehand: launch iTunes > Preferences > Devices, check “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically”.

Step 2. Scan Your Device for Lost Data on It

Simply click the "Start Scan" button to let this program scan your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to scan for deleted or lost data. The scanning g process may last a few minutes, depending on the amount of data on your device. During the scanning process, if you see that the data you're looking for is there, then you can click the "Pause" button to stop the process.

To filter out the deleted data on your iOS device, you can swipe the option "Only display the deleted items" to ON. By clicking the file type on the left side, you can preview the found data. And you can see there is a search box on the top right of the window. You can search for a specific file by typing a keyword in the search box.
