iPhone Photo Backup App: 4 Top App Photo Backup Services

My friend's iPhone suddenly crashed, and the pictures of his little boy sent by his wife are gone. So sad! I told him that he should always back up photos! He has no experience in backing things up.

Almost all messaging apps offer photo sharing service with others. Interesting photos received from family members or friends, pictures downloaded on the internet, and other source images, are worth to keep.

Back up Now!

I'm sorry to hear that, but it is not impossible to recover the pictures he lost after system crashed.

I would like to recommend an iPhone Data recovery tool to your friend, FoneLab for iOS, which is capable of recovering deleted or lost iOS data.

However, better safe than sorry!

Always back up your photos!
