What FoneTool is
FoneTool provides tools for transferring, managing, and backing up iOS device data. Its mobile app transfers photos, videos, music, and contacts between iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android devices. Users can preview files and choose individual items or transfer everything; with FoneTool installed on both devices, transfers can take place without Wi-Fi or cellular data. The Windows desktop app adds backup and transfer, iPhone switching, WhatsApp management, data erasure, and HEIC conversion. Product pages also list WhatsApp backup and transfer, iCloud management, and separate repair and unlocking products. The free edition backs up or transfers photos, music, videos, contacts, and messages from iPhone to PC. FoneTool is available for Android, iOS, and Windows, and its Android app requires Android 7.0 or later. A stated limit is that the current version does not back up or restore photos, videos, Animoji, or other attachments in SMS. Paid plans include FoneTool Pro at $39.95 a year or $59.95, paid once.
