iPhone and iPad backups contain nearly all your mobile data. They are a great way to make sure that your data is safe - lose your phone, and you'll be up and running in no time on a new one if you have a recent backup at hand. But what if you need to access data from a backup quickly, without restoring it to a device? Or access and export data that is only available in backups, like Messages? Apple's iOS backup format is not human readable, and you'll need a dedicated software to do just that. Browsing backups in iMazing is 100% free, so there's no reason not to give it a go! And if you've made your backups with iMazing, you'll have the option to choose between multiple snapshots of your devices (unlike iTunes, which only keeps one backup per device.)

Once you've authorised iMazing to access iTunes backups, the backups will appear in iMazing's left sidebar along with devices, in a section labelled Old Backups.
What to keep in mindIn the sidebar, devices listed under the Available Devices section are currently connected, or can potentially be connected to via Wi-Fi. All other devices listed in the sidebar are not connected. When you select one of those devices, iMazing displays the contents of its most recent backup. To view a different backup for that device, choose one from the Backups Window. When browsing a backup from the backup list, you'll notice changes in iMazing's interface:
