GoKawiiliMazing is a powerful tool for gaining pro-level control of your iPhone and iPad on your Mac or PC. A major new release is coming soon, and the popular utility is now offering a 20% discount for 9to5Mac readers. Here’s everything iMazing has been working on lately and a glimpse of what’s coming up.
iMazing 3 has turned the tool into a powerful platform for data and device management
Your iPhone has a ton of important data that you likely want to ensure never gets lost. But Apple’s own tools for backup and access are fairly limited.
The pitch for iMazing is that it lets you manage your devices, back up and transfer your iPhone’s messages, music, photos, files, and other data with ease. But it also does so much more.
iMazing 3 launched in 2024, and the next major release is coming soon. It will mark the first step toward Android support within the platform—a huge milestone.
Since version 3 debuted, iMazing has expanded and improved in a variety of ways for its users. The UI has been upgraded with customizable device and backup list views, and a collapsible sidebar, and new views when browsing Photos, Notes, Messages, WhatsApp, Contacts, Call History, Voicemails, and Books.
Every time Apple releases a new product, iMazing adds support. But it has also expanded product categories in recent years, with Apple Watch now supported on Mac and music transfer support for iPod classic and other non-iOS models.
New tools added to iMazing include Screen Recording on macOS, additional diagnostic and device-info export tools, more Developer Mode tools, and new Spyware Analyzer modules allowing detecting other spywares.
Data management is iMazing’s original superpower, and since version 3 there’s now a Unified Logs browser with advanced filters, you can export all data with advanced filters, and searching files in devices and backups has been added. It has also upgraded Messages and WhatsApp support with digitally signed PDF export, RSMF support, and advanced e-discovery features.
Device management has gotten some powerful upgrades lately too. They include iMazing Profile Editor 2, ‘Enroll in MDM’ for streamlined MDM enrollment, iMazing Configurator for Windows, and many new commands for the iMazing CLI.
