How to recover deleted files from any Android phone without root

These days, most of us rely on our phones to store all sorts of important stuff including pictures, videos, documents, and whatnot.

Phones are no longer a luxury but, instead, have become one of the most important gadgets as these tiny handheld devices serve multiple purposes.

But like any other electronic device, phones aren’t immune to the occasional malfunction. And when this happens, more often than not, we end up losing all the data stored on them.

Not only that, but at times we accidentally delete items and rush to find ways to retrieve the files back. And if you’ve stumbled upon this article, it’s likely that you’re stuck in a similar situation.

Well, if that’s so, then don’t fret. Using iMobie’s DroidKit, you’ll be able to recover files from a broken phone or files that have been deleted accidentally in a jiffy.

How to use DroidKit to recover files from your Android phone

DroidKit is one of the only few tools available that allow you to recover lost or deleted files from your Android smartphone without the requirement of root access via the Quick Recovery from Device option.

This means you won’t have to do much in order to begin the process of data recovery. However, there’s something in here for us ‘geeks’ as well.

5. Now you will be able to pick and choose the the file types that you wish to scan for and recover. It’s best to select only the files type(s) you wish to recover to cut down the time it takes to perform the scan.
