Pricing: see the vendor's pricing page

AOMEI FoneBackup backs up, restores and transfers iPhone data to and from a PC, and manages iCloud content and WhatsApp data. The vendor lists yearly and lifetime licences with device and PC limits, and a freeware download. The page does not state the freeware's limits, the Windows or macOS versions, whether Android is supported, or whether the licences are subscriptions.

Pros

  • Backs up photos, music, videos, contacts, messages and other iPhone, iPad and iPod data to a PC, selectively or in full (vendor)
  • Transfers data between a PC and an iPhone, and between iPhones, without a network connection (vendor)
  • Manages iCloud Photos, Contacts, Notes, Videos and iCloud Drive, and syncs between iCloud accounts (vendor)
  • Includes a WhatsApp data manager for moving WhatsApp data between iOS devices (vendor)

Cons

  • The page does not state the freeware's features or limits
  • Windows and macOS versions are not stated for FoneBackup
  • Android is not mentioned on the page
  • The page says it works with all iOS versions; it also names iOS 18 and iOS 26, which is a vendor claim

How this review was made. This is a research-based review, not a lab test. Every claim comes from the vendor's own product page, read on 26 October 2026 and listed at the bottom. Where the vendor does not say something, we write "not stated". We do not publish prices: see the vendor's store page for your region. Compatibility and performance claims are the vendor's own.

Look at FoneBackup if

  • You want to back up an iPhone's photos, messages and contacts to a Windows PC.
  • You want to move WhatsApp data between two iPhones.
  • You want to manage iCloud content from a PC.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need Android support; the page does not mention it.
  • You need the freeware's limits before you install; the page does not state them.
  • You want a phone transfer tool from another vendor to compare; see our MobiMover review.

What the vendor says the tool does

The page describes backing up photos, music, videos, contacts, messages and other data from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a PC, as a selective or full backup. It describes restoring data to the device and transferring data between a PC and an iPhone, between two iPhones, and between a PC and an iPhone without a network connection.

It describes managing iCloud content, including uploading, downloading and deleting Photos, Contacts, Notes, Videos and iCloud Drive data, and syncing between multiple iCloud accounts. A WhatsApp data manager moves WhatsApp data between iOS devices.

Device and iOS support

The page says it works with all iOS versions and devices, and names iOS 18 and iPhone 15. Banners on the page also list iOS 26 and iPhone 17 compatibility. These are the vendor’s own statements.

Platforms

The page does not state supported Windows or macOS versions for FoneBackup. The freeware download is an .exe file, which suggests Windows, but the page does not say so. The page does not mention Mac support for FoneBackup; the Mac product it links to is a separate AOMEI Backupper.

Freeware

A “Download Freeware” option is linked, but the page does not list its features or limits.

Licences

The page lists three plans: a yearly Pro plan with one year of free upgrades, a lifetime Pro plan with lifetime free upgrades, and a lifetime Pro Unlimited plan that allows sharing with family and friends. Pro is limited to five PCs; Pro Unlimited allows unlimited PCs. The page says devices are unlimited for Pro. We do not publish prices.

The page does not explain whether a yearly plan renews automatically.

Refunds

The page advertises a 90-day unconditional money-back guarantee and says the licence code is delivered instantly. It also offers “perpetual” free technical support, a vendor claim.

What is not stated

  • Freeware features and limits.
  • Windows and macOS versions for FoneBackup.
  • Android support.
  • Whether the yearly plan renews automatically.
