Tools Section in iMazing

The iMazing Tools section provides access to all tools and actions for managing your devices, transferring data, restoring backups, exporting specific data, and many other features.

iMazing Device Tools Section

The Tools section is where you'll launch most common operations. Some tools like "Restore a Backup" display a step-by-step wizard, while other actions take effect immediately. The list of available tools and actions varies depending on whether you're browsing a device or a backup.

The Tools section is organized into different categories, each containing related tools or actions specific to a device or a backup.

  • General
  • Operating System
  • Management
    • Supervision
