Version: 2.16.2

Release date: Thu, 27 Oct 2022 15:20:03 +0200

What's New in iMazing 2.16

iMazing 2.16 introduces a new method to access a device's data without requiring a full backup. This option can save considerable disk space on the computer running iMazing, and allows iMazing to be used in cases where a computer has less available storage than the capacity of the iOS or iPadOS device.

When connecting a device for the first time and accessing a dataset that requires an iOS or iPadOS backup, iMazing will present you with two choices:

• Full Backup, the classic method (also a restorable backup)
• Data Access Only, the new method, which excludes some media and is not a backup

Data Access Only vs Full Backups

• Learn more about this new feature: https://imazing.com/guides/data-access-only-vs-full-backup-in-imazing

New Apple Devices Support

• iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max
• iPad 10th generation, iPad Pro 11-inch - 4th generation and iPad Pro 12.9-inch - 6th generation

iOS and iPadOS 16.1

• Full compatibility with iOS 16.1.
• With iOS and iPadOS 16.1, Apple introduced a new security feature that requires a device passcode prompt to initiate a backup. iMazing and iMazing Mini both support this prompt, which currently cannot be bypassed.

Photos

• Now supports converting HEVC (H.265) videos to MPEG-4 (H.264). You will find the conversion options in iMazing Preferences / Photos.
• iMazing can now download photos and videos from iCloud. When a file is not locally stored on your device, iMazing will prompt you to log in to iCloud with your Apple ID to download them. (Please note: your Apple ID and password are only used to connect to Apple servers and will remain protected in your macOS keychain or Windows credentials.)

Other New Features

• Change Backup Location: when changing the device backup location in the device options, iMazing now asks if you want to copy the backup and all of its archives to the new location (if there is no existing backup at this location).
• Sidebar Contextual Menu: with Move Backup to Old Backups you can now detach a backup from its device. This is useful if you want to start a new backup while keeping the old backup accessible in Old Backups (it can be deleted later).
• Sidebar Contextual Menu: with Delete Backup Archives and Keep only Last Backup you can delete all archives of a backup and keep only the last backup. This can be useful to reduce the size of a backup when you don't need to keep previous versions.
• Preferences / General: a new option Open Operations popover automatically when an operation starts was added; it is enabled by default.
• Preferences / General: a new option Clear cache when iMazing quits was added. This option is useful for privacy; a repair shop, for instance, can ensure no private customer data is stored in the cache folder when iMazing quits.
• Preferences / Devices: a new option Remove devices and pairing records when iMazing quits was added. This option is also useful for privacy and will ensure that a device won't be accessible after iMazing quits, so that pairing the device is required when reconnecting it.
• Erase All Content: two new options have been added: Preserve eSIM data (erases all of a device's data and settings while preserving the eSIM data) and Prevent proximity setup (prevents any proximity setup, such as transferring data from a nearby device, after the device restarts and displays the iOS Setup Assistant).

Fixes and improvements in 2.8.3 (9874)

Lots of small fixes and adjustments here, mostly following user feedback. Thanks to all of you who got in touch!

• Apps: Restore of .imazingapp files on older iOS versions
• Backup: Fixed Wi-Fi backups sometimes hanging when connection was lost
• Backup: Detection of incompatible backup locations is improved. iMazing will now prevent backing up to WD My Cloud Home devices for example - such storage devices cannot be used for direct backups unfortunately
• Calendars: Better handling of ‘absurd’ recurring event dates (every 31st of the month for instance) by clamping irrational dates
• Restore: When updating iOS with iMazing, the target device will now immediately ask for the passcode instead of doing so after the iOS installation package has been downloaded. As a consequence, iOS update/reinstall and backup restore operations should be more fire and forget than before
