iPad FaceTime calls

Making video or voice calls through the FaceTime app is completely free when used with Wi-Fi. It’s especially useful for making international calls. Coupled with the ability to synchronise an iPhone with an iPad, users have the added dynamics of a larger screen and better processor for video calls.

Be it for personal or work usage there may be a need to keep a record of your calls. But what happens if this is suddenly deleted – be it by accident, intentional or even a faulty iOS upgrade?

There is no visible recycling bin to unearth deleted data on your iPad, so it’s natural to think deleted files have been completely wiped. To retrieve the call history that’s collected on your tablet a third-party tool is needed.

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.

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.

Since it debuted with iOS 4 in 2010, Apple’s FaceTime app – available for both voice and video – has proven to be a popular alternative to the traditional method of calling. Using an internet connection instead of the phone’s network service, this inexpensive method of communicating has encouraged users to remain connected with friends and family anywhere around the world. It’s also given them the freedom to synchronise with a number of other Apple devices – iPods, iPads and Macs – to vary their calling methods. And it’s perhaps the iPad, due to its portability and large screen, that FaceTime is being used the most with.

And as with regular calls, FaceTime activity is stored in call-logs; allowing users to keep track of who and when calls have been made / received with. However, there may be unfortunate cases where some, or all, of your call history may have been erased – be it intentionally, accidentally or from a simple software malfunction. Asking your network or internet provider to retrieve call activity isn’t possible; therefore, a specialist data recovery software for tablet devices may be required.

Enigma Recovery works with all iOS devices, in particular iPads. And one of the main file types it’s designed to retrieve are FaceTime call-logs for both video and voice calls. It has the unique ability to locate missing file paths of deleted activities and reconstructing them into a readable format to present back to the user.

How to Recover FaceTime Call History from Your iTunes Backup File

With the introduction of FaceTime and the ability to make video and voice calls over the internet, an increasing number of users are beginning to ditch traditional phone-calling methods. FaceTime calling not only provides better quality, but it’s also an inexpensive alternative for making calls abroad.

It’s no surprise then that iPad users – with the benefit of larger screens and portability – are making good use of this feature. And if they’re treating it similar to phone calls on their iPhone, they’ll also recognise the importance of recorded call-history – for tracking recent conversations, using it for shortcuts to frequent calls or even remembering the details of a contact that’s not stored.

But as with most devices nowadays, the risk of unexpected deletion – be it accidental or intentional – can cause endless levels of inconvenience. With Enigma Recovery, however, the process of retrieving call-logs is a very simple one. The software even provides the added convenience of recovering from previous iTunes backups, making it possible to retrieve data without even needing the presence of the iPad itself. This becomes especially useful if the iPad has been lost or stolen, or even if it’s damaged and access to its contents is no longer possible.

How to Recover Call History From Your iCloud Backup

The boom of smartphone and tablet devices in the past decade, has seen remarkable development in the internet and the ease in which it can be accessed. One particular area which is being dramatically affected, is the manner in which we make and receive calls. Applications such as FaceTime – now installed natively on all iOS devices – work via a secure internet connection and are proving to be better, cheaper alternatives to conventional methods of making voice calls. They also offer better device flexibility as Apple users are able to synchronise with other devices, in particular iPads with larger screens.

So for those that do use their iPads for making and receiving Facetime calls (both video and voice), there will no doubt be a great importance placed recording and monitoring call history. The added ability to then recover activity that may have been deleted or lost, also becomes essential. And this is where Enigma Recovery – a unique software designed to recover lost data from iPad devices – is required.

With the ability to work in a variety of circumstances, Enigma Recovery becomes especially useful when access to the iPad device itself is no longer possible (whether it’s been misplaced, stolen or damaged). The software can still carry out its purpose from your most recent iCloud backup; recovering existing call records, as well as those that may have been deleted from the device since the backup.

To demonstrate how the software works, please see the below instructions on how Enigma Recovery can help you retrieve call-history from your iCloud.

How to Transfer Lost or Deleted FaceTime Call History to Your Mac or PC

Rapid improvements to technology have made the internet increasingly accessible on a number of devices. This trend has had a significant impact in the manner in which we make and receive calls. Popular apps such as FaceTime – which run off a secure internet connection – have made both voice and video-calling an inexpensive alternative to traditional methods. And with the additional benefit of device flexibility, an increasing number of people are using iPads for these calls.

If you’re one of those users, you’ll no doubt be relying on the customary call-history features to monitor and record activity. But what if that call history has suddenly been wiped – be it the entire call-log or one or two isolated activities? It’s highly unlikely your network or internet provider would be able to recover these, so what are the options? The good news is that, with Enigma Recovery, the retrieval process is one that you can execute yourself and complete in a matter of minutes.

Despite what may appear on the surface of your screen, deleted content is not always permanently wiped from the device. Instead, the location in which the deleted file was originally saved, is reserved until a brand new file takes its place. So providing you act quickly, Enigma Recovery will scan the internal memory of your iPad to locate the missing call logs and reconstruct them in a readable format for you to export and save to your computer.

For a demonstration of the software, please refer to the below step-by-step guide which gives concise instructions on how the retrieval process works.

How to Export Existing iPad FaceTime Call History to Your Mac or PC

With advances in technology and the ease in which the internet is accessed, our approach to making and receiving calls are changing. Due to their low cost and device flexibility, apps such as FaceTime are being favoured over the traditional methods of voice calling. Video calling is becoming increasingly popular, as iPad users in particular are taking advantage of their larger screens for video calls.

Despite these changes in trends, one thing still remains as useful as before – recording call history. Whether it’s for just normal house-keeping or for a specific one-off purpose, you may find it important to export your existing call-logs to your computer for safe-keeping. Currently, Apple provide no method for extracting such information, but with Enigma Recovery – a unique software designed to capture data from iPads – you’ll be able to scan your device and selectively choose the content you’d like to transfer.

And since the software has been designed with smartphone and tablet devices in mind, you can rest assure the remaining data on your iPad is at no risk to accidental deletion when being scanned. Enigma Recovery will safely scan the internal memory of your device, but not before the user is given complete control in specifying what exactly they’d like scanning.
