Legal and source limits

Questions people ask
Short answers for common search questions before someone starts a trial or downloads the desktop app.
Can Proof Me Hard investigate an iPhone backup?
Proof Me Hard can review supported iPhone and iPad backup data when the backup path is available, authorized, and contains the records being reviewed.
Do I need physical access or authorization?
You must own the data or have explicit lawful authorization. Proof Me Hard is not built for hidden access, surveillance, or unauthorized review.
Can it recover messages that are not in the backup?
No. Proof Me Hard surfaces what the source preserves. It cannot create messages, attachments, or metadata that are not present in the supported source.
Why do some iPhone imports need macOS?
Some Apple local backup workflows rely on macOS storage and permission behavior. Windows can still review supported exports, Capture packages, cloud restores, and existing libraries.
