How To Extract Your iPhone Messages And Voicemails On Mac

The much acclaimed iCloud service provides reliable means for data storage and backup. The latter enables you to store your personal data and information on Apple’s remote servers which can be later retrieved on your iPhone, iPad or Mac devices. Besides, iCloud is well known for its high degree of safety and protection to the data. By default, it requires a two-factor authentication each time you login to your iCloud account. So there are certain layers of security, making it almost impregnable to the third parties. iCloud takes care of all your personal data including photos, videos, music files, documents, contacts and messages. But as it turns out, data once stored on iCloud can’t be accessed easily unless you have made up your mind to restore your iCloud backup.

Of course there are different ways to gain access to your iCloud data but that would require some third party apps like iTunes and PhoneRescue. Whatever be the case, you can’t have an instant access to your iCloud data. So in case you want to locally save your messages, contacts or voicemails on Mac, iCloud is certainly not the best

way to go. Instead, there are plenty of third-party apps available that help you keep your messages, contacts and voice mails safe. PhoneView is one such app that makes it extremely easy for you to find and access your iPhone data on Mac. Also read iPhone to Android switch Made even Simpler using GoogleDrive .
