iMazing 3.6.5 on Mac

iTunes does the basics, but if you need real control over your iPhone or iPad data, iMazing fills the gap. It lets you pull call logs as CSV files, save voicemail messages as audio, copy text messages and attachments to a new phone, and transfer Safari bookmarks without iCloud. For media, you can copy music and movies between your device and computer without ever opening iTunes, and import ePub and PDF books directly into Apple Books or export them to your Mac.

The deeper side matters more: iMazing works with the file system and encrypted backups, so you can modify and restore files that iTunes won’t touch. You can export documents, settings, and game scores from individual apps, and restore them later. The release notes for 3.6.5 add support for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Duo, Apple Watch Series 12, and a link to iMazing Chatbot in the toolbar. If you’re the person who wants to pull voicemails off an old iPhone or archive every attachment from a conversation, this is the tool that gets it done.

Moving data from an old iPhone to a new one, start to finish

Suppose you have an old iPhone with years of messages, call history, voice memos and app data, and a new iPhone sitting unboxed. The usual iCloud restore is fine for most people, but you want to keep every voicemail file and every CSV export from your call logs before the old phone goes back to Apple. Here is how that works with iMazing.

First, connect the old iPhone to your Mac and open iMazing. The main window shows your device with a list of data categories. Start with messages: click the Messages section and select all conversations you want to keep. You can export the whole thread as a PDF or a text file, and the attachments — photos, videos, documents — get saved alongside. That gives you a readable archive on your Mac before anything touches the new phone.

Next, go to Voicemail. iMazing displays every voicemail as a separate audio file. Select them all and choose Export. They land on your desktop as M4A files, ready to listen to or back up. Then do the same for Call Logs: one click exports everything as a CSV file, which you can open in Numbers or Excel later.

Voice memos are another category people forget. Open the Voice Memos section, select the recordings, and export them to a folder. The same goes for Safari bookmarks — transfer them to your Mac without iCloud turned on. Once all these pieces are saved, you are free to wipe the old device.

Now connect the new iPhone. iMazing sees it as a separate device. To move the app data across, use the Backup and Restore features. Make a full backup of the old phone first (encrypted if you want passwords and health data included). Then restore that backup to the new phone. The transfer includes text messages, attachments, call logs, voicemails, calendars, contacts, and settings. For app-specific documents and game scores, you can use the Manage Apps section: export the .imazingapp file from the old device and import it on the new one.

Clearing iPad space before a trip

Friday afternoon, I plug in my iPad to clear out space before a weekend trip. The iPad has been accumulating photos, voice memos, and a few ePubs I downloaded but never read.

I start with photos. Click the Photos section, and the app loads every album and thumbnail. I select the ones I want to move — the trip photos from last month — and choose Export to Mac. iMazing copies them to a folder I specify, preserving the original filenames and dates. No iCloud sync, no Photos app import, just the files on my hard drive.

Next, I open the Books section. iMazing shows the ePub and PDF files inside Apple Books. I select the ones I finished reading and export them to my Documents folder. The files come out as regular ePub and PDF, ready to open in any reader.

Voice memos come next. There are three recordings from a lecture I want to keep. I select them, export as M4A, and they join the photos in the same folder.

Before I disconnect, I take a quick look at the Backup section. I set up a wireless automatic backup so my iPad backs itself to the Mac whenever it is on the same Wi-Fi network. That way, even if I forget to plug it in next week, the data is safe.

Session done.

Scanned document display fix in 3.6.5

iMazing has a few details that make a difference once you notice them. The version 3.6.5 changelog states that iOS 26 documents scanned now show properly past the initial page. That matters if you scan receipts or notes with the iPhone and want to see the full document in iMazing.

The same update added a link to iMazing Chatbot in the main window toolbar. It is a small thing, but if you get stuck on a step, the chatbot is one click away instead of having to open a browser and search for help.

Exported .imazingapp files from backups now contain shared app group containers, another quiet feature. If an app stores data in a shared container — say, a notes app that shares a database with a companion app — that data is now included when you export the app's files. Previously you might have lost part of the data; now it comes along.

The unified logs view got an improvement too. You can export complete log archives directly from that view, which is useful if you are troubleshooting a device issue or sending logs to a developer. No need to dig through console output or use third-party tools.

And if you are the kind of person who keeps multiple iOS devices, the app handles them all in one window. You see each device listed on the left, and switching between them is instant. The same backup settings, export destinations, and bookmarks apply across all of them unless you change them per device.

Exporting files that iTunes and Finder cannot

There are a few other Mac tools that claim to manage iOS devices, but they each have limits that iMazing doesn't.

iTunes (or Finder on newer macOS): The built-in tool can sync music, photos, and backups, but it cannot export call logs, voicemails, or individual app data. It does not let you browse the file system or restore encrypted backups selectively. For basic sync and a full restore, it works. For granular data management, it falls short.

Syncios: This app also transfers music, photos, and messages between iOS and Mac. It can export contacts and call logs too. But it does not handle encrypted backups the same way, and its app data export is less thorough — it will not grab shared app group containers or let you modify files inside a backup.

AnyTrans: Similar feature set: transfers messages, music, photos, and backups. It supports encrypted backups and can export voicemails. Where it differs is in the restore side — AnyTrans is better at moving data to a new device but less flexible when you want to pull individual files out of a backup. Its bookmarks and calendar export options are also more limited, often requiring iCloud as an intermediary.

iMazing lets you browse and extract files from your device backups, including the imazing mac cracked version.
