Your Brief iMazing Update

iMazing 2.16 was recently released with these additions:

• Full iOS/iPadOS 16.1 and macOS Ventura compatibility
• Support for Apple's newest iPhone and iPad models
• A new method for accessing the data on iOS or iPadOS devices that doesn’t require a full backup (saving significant drive space)
• The ability to download photos and videos from iCloud

Data Access Only

This is a new method for accessing content on an iOS or iPadOS device that doesn't require iMazing to perform a full backup operation, as previously required. Data Access Only serves two key purposes:

1. It saves drive space, which enables iMazing to be used on Macs and PCs that have less available space than the device they are trying to access.
2. It's useful for company help desks, mobile phone repair shops, and other cases where a full backup of a device is unnecessary or unneeded.

Space savings will vary between devices based primarily on the amount of media they contain. In our samples, the difference between Data Access Only and Full Backup ranged from 40-90%.

iMazing Converter 2

iMazing 2.16 also incorporates the improvements we added in the recently released iMazing Converter 2, most notably support for converting HEVC (H.265) videos to MPEG-4 (H.264). You can adjust conversion settings from the Photos section in iMazing Preferences.

Download iCloud Photos & Videos

iMazing now supports downloading photos and videos from iCloud. When a photo or video is stored on iCloud and not locally on the device, iMazing will prompt you to log in with your Apple ID to download them. Your credentials, of course, are never saved by iMazing nor shared with any third party. (Learn more about how we value your security & privacy.)

iOS/iPad OS 16.1 and macOS Ventura

iMazing fully supports Apple's newest operating systems, including edited messages.

An important note: 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.

New Devices

iMazing supports Apple's latest hardware, including all iPhone 14 models and the new iPad (10th generation) and iPad Pro releases.
