Accidents happen, and one of the worst things that can happen to your iPhone is a cracked or broken screen. Not only does this affect the functionality of your device, but it can also lead to the loss of important data, including your precious contacts. But fear not! In this guide, we will walk you through the essential steps to recover contacts from a broken iPhone.

Step 1: Assess the Damage and Backup Your iPhone

The first thing you need to do is assess the extent of the damage to your iPhone. If the screen is shattered but still displays content, you may be able to follow these steps to recover your contacts. However, if your iPhone is completely unresponsive, you may need to seek professional help. Regardless of the condition, it is crucial to backup your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud to ensure that your data is safe.

Step 2: Connect Your iPhone to a Computer

Connect your broken iPhone to a computer using a USB cable. Launch iTunes if it doesn’t open automatically. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer to avoid compatibility issues. If prompted, grant access on your iPhone to trust the computer.

Step 3: Access Your iPhone from iTunes

Once your iPhone is connected, click on the device icon that appears in iTunes. This will give you access to the Summary panel for your iPhone.

Step 4: Extract Contacts from the iTunes Backup

If you had previously backed up your iPhone to iTunes, you can extract your contacts from the backup. In the Summary panel, click on the “Restore Backup” button under the Backups section. Choose the most recent backup that contains your contacts and click “Restore”. Wait for the process to complete.

Step 5: Recover Contacts from iCloud

  • Go to iCloud.com on a computer and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  • Click on “Contacts” to access your saved contacts.
  • Select the contacts you want to recover, then click on the gear icon at the bottom left and choose “Export vCard”.
  • The vCard file will be downloaded to your computer. You can import this file into your new iPhone or any other device that supports vCard import.

Step 6: Use Third-Party Software

If the above steps didn’t work or you didn’t have a backup, you can use third-party software specifically designed to recover data from broken iPhones. Tools like Dr.Fone, iMobie PhoneRescue, and Tenorshare UltData can help you recover contacts and other data directly from your broken iPhone. Follow the instructions provided by the software to initiate the recovery process.

Recovering contacts from a broken iPhone can be a daunting task, but with the right steps and tools, it is definitely achievable. Remember to always have a backup of your iPhone, so you don’t lose your important data in case of accidents. Whether you choose to use iTunes, iCloud, or third-party software, these steps should guide you on the path to contact recovery success!
