How to Recover iPhone Data Without Backup

“I recently was forced to restore my iPhone using a backup from about a month ago, when I returned it said sync complete. However, when I tried to call a friend of mine, I couldn’t find his contact information, it was disappeared from the Address Book, and several other contacts that I added recently were disappeared too. I only wanted to find back my lost contacts or some other deleted data after the restoring, is there anyone can help me? Thanks in advance!”

If you haven’t synced your iPhone with iTunes regularly, there’s little chance for you to restore iPhone data from iTunes backup, because any new data added to your iPhone since the last sync are not included in your iPhone’s backup. If you are not sure when you have synced or backed up your iPhone through iTunes, you can check the latest backup time by opening iTunes and checking Menu bar > Edit > Preferences > Devices. If it’s proved that you have not an effective or timely backup in iTunes, then your deleted data can’t be found back from iTunes backup.

Under this condition, there’s still a way left for you to recover iPhone data without backup or iTunes. You can use a third-party data recovery tool to directly scan your iPhone for deleted data.
