Making calls

The expense of calling internationally can be eliminated using video calling apps like FaceTime. When connected over WiFi FaceTime very simply allows you to make international audios and video calls for free across a range of Apple iOS devices including iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

The FaceTime app just like the Calls app is inbuilt into your Apple iOS device, and just like the calls app, it keeps a record of your FaceTime call log. You may need to keep a record of your FaceTime call log for legal reasons or even personal reasons. The tutorial below will help you extract existing and deleted FaceTime from your iPhone or iPad

In order to extract lost data from an iOS Apple device, a third party is needed. Once an item is deleted from an iPhone or iPad, the file is not necessarily gone as it resides in the device’s database. However most users believe that once an item is deleted, a message, a call log, a phone number, it is erased forever. Enigma Recovery is an iOS data recovery software. With it you are able to scan an iPad or iPhone to retrieve a variety of lost files.

Deleting iOS data

Upon deletion, a file is never wiped permanently. Instead, the codes making up the file are stripped and its location is reserved for when a newly created file requires space. Enigma Recovery is designed to find these missing files and re-construct them in a readable format for the user – who can then decide what he or she would like to do with them. Download Enigma Recovery and follow the tutorial below to recover deleted iPad FaceTime calls.
