How to Access iPhone Data if the Owner Passes Away


Know how you can access the iPhone, which doesn’t belong to you in case of an emergency or when the owner passes away.

As we are entering more and more into the technological era, we are starting to keep our data and details in the mobile devices. The data on the mobile device has much more than just the number and some social media. It contains everything from our preferences, office work to our secrets.

Our mobile device contains everything; sometimes, we have to access the data from other people’s iPhone to help them in the emergency to inform. In the case of suspicions circumstances, this data can be much helpful to know about those circumstances.
When the victim’s iPhone is protected with the Passcode, then you have very few options to access the data. The device will not open itself unless you know the Passcode due to the Privacy and Security settings created by Apple. Still, there are some techniques that can be used to overcome this security.
1.     iCloud
2.     Erase and Restore
3.     When you don’t have the Password of Device and iCloud
iCloud
If you want to use this method, then you have to have access to the email ID used in the iCloud. If you have access to that mail ID, then Reset the Password of iCloud. The link or the OTP will be mailed to the Email ID, which will allow you to change the password, and then you can access the data you think you need.
Erase and Restore
This technique is useful when you don’t have the Passcode to the iPhone, and have sufficient time. Then it would help if you used this technique; in this, you can use iCloud or iTunes to restore the data. To Erase the data from the iPhone, you should follow these steps:
§  Open the app Settings.
§  Click on General.
§  Click on the Reset button, situated at the bottom of the page.
§  Select the Erase All Content and Settings. There is a possibility that you have to enter the Passcode. Otherwise, it will clean the device and reboot itself.
Now you have to restore the data you have erased, for that you have two options:
§  From iCloud Backup
§  From iTunes Backup
iCloud Backup Restoring
For this, you have to follow these steps after erasing the data:
§  Press the Home button when the screen displays Hello.
§  Choose the language.
§  Then choose your Country and Region.
§  Now, connect to the Wi-Fi network.
§  Set the Location service Setting.
§  Now you have to create the Touch ID.
§  When you see the Apps and Data on the screen, click on the option Restore from the iCloud Backup.
§  Now you have to enter the Apple ID and its Password.
§  Tap on the Agree Button on the Terms and Conditions Screen.
§  Click on Show all backups; from here, choose one you want to get back (generally, you should choose the first one, which is the latest Backup created.
Restoring Data from the iTunes
If you wish to restore your data from the iTunes then:
§  Connect the iPhone to the PC (which was used previously).
§  Open the iTunes on the PC.
§  Now, tap on the icon of a device located on the top left corner.
§  Tap on the Summary, located on top of the Settings section on the left pane.
§  Tap on Restore Backup.
§  Now, you have to select the device and then tap on Restore.
§  There is a possibility that you have to enter the password here, too (if the user has created it to protect his data).
When You doesn’t Have the Password
To protect privacy and data, Apple has created a protective layer over everything. This is the reason why you can have some difficulty to crack security and get the data. But in case of an emergency, you can’t access the data, which can be valuable pictures, videos, or data.
If you wish to get the ID, then you have to request it from Apple. Apple can’t give away the credentials or open the data if there is Active Activation Lock. For this, you have to make contact with Apple Support. Here, you have to provide the conditions (or being specific death certificate) to them. There is a chance that you have to present the Power of Attorney. It is hard to know for a fact because there is no specific mentioned pattern mentioned by the company at any point. After the submission process, Apple will provide the Credentials to the person who contacted the support. This method takes time. So it will only be useful when the victim is no longer with us.
Once you get the credentials, then you can use any methods mentioned above to access the data.
