    Download iCloud backup using a third party app

    Many apps allow users to download files from iCloud backups. These third party apps support downloading different types of files (notes, photos, images, contacts, calendars, etc.) from backups. In addition, you can preview the item before downloading it to your device.

    However, one of the major drawbacks is that third-party apps often require payment or subscription. Let’s see how to use two of these apps —iMyFoneD-Back When PhoneRescue-Download iCloud backup.

    iCloud apps, the web, or third-party apps: which is better?

    We recommend downloading iCloud backups from the iCloud website or Apple’s iCloud app. These are more secure than third party apps. Recovery tools can access personal data and sensitive files in iCloud backups. Use third-party apps only if you need to download certain file types that aren’t supported by Apple’s iCloud website or apps.
