Restoring data from a phone flash drive
Restoring data from a phone flash drive can be somewhat more difficult than in the case of a regular USB flash drive. However, there are several methods and software tools that can help recover lost data.
1. Use specialized software: There are a number of programs for data recovery on a computer or directly on the phone itself (depending on the operating system). Some of the popular applications are Dr.Fone for Android/iOS, iMobie PhoneRescue and Tenorshare UltData.
2. Connect the flash drive to the computer: If your flash drive has a USB-C or microUSB connection type (usual charger connector), you can use an adapter to connect it to free USB ports on the computer.
3. The possibility of access via MTP/PTP protocols: The method works only if your phone is quickly identified as a new USB storage device after inserting its standard cable (most 90% models do this). You must select "File Transfer" ("MTP") or "Picture Transfer" ("PTP") to access the data on the flash drive.
4. Use the data recovery program: Connect the phone with a USB cable and run the previously selected data recovery program. Follow the instructions to scan your device and find lost files.
5. Ask for professional help: If all the above methods did not lead to results or if the data is very valuable to you, then it is better to contact the specialists of data recovery companies. They have specific equipment and know how each model of mobile device works
It is important to note that the faster the action is performed after deleting/losing the file, the greater the chance to return it undamaged
