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.
