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.
