APPLE LIKES TO keep your iOS device firmly locked down, and for the most part that’s fine. After all, most of us aren’t interested in jailbreaki­ng our devices and the risks that come with that. But gaining more control doesn’t have to entail risks — with iMazing 2 you can take a deep dive into your device and keep it well– maintained in a safe and easy way.

The various tools provided in iMazing allow you to do several useful things that Apple won’t let you do, whether that’s through Finder or in the Music, Podcasts, and TV apps. For instance, iMazing adds features like a profile manager and file system browser that are simply not available from Apple. These provide an extra level of functional­ity for managing and maintainin­g your device.

Elsewhere, iMazing adds extra features to existing tools. While Finder will happily back up your iOS device, it doesn’t give you many options. If you back up through iMazing, however, you can create an automatic backup schedule, choose where your backups are saved and whether they’re archived, and more. It’s an extra layer of control that, for whatever reason, Apple chose not to provide.

All these features make iMazing an excellent tool for keeping your device in great shape. Here, we’ll show you how to maintain your iOS device the quick and easy way with this useful app.
