How far back will this program be able to recover? I'm looking for significant files from 3 years ago that may have been in my camera roll at the time.
Rosa Reyes
Hi, Sen. As long as your lost significant files haven't been overwritten by new files, then you can recover them back. It's been a long time, so I guess your files might be overwritten. But you can also try Cisdem iPhoneRecovery to see if it can find the files you want. Good Luck!!
