Whether you are looking to transfer data from your iPhone to another device or you are looking to perform any other task on your device, AnyTrans is an excellent choice when it comes to getting things done on iOS-based devices. Here we review some of the salient features of the app.
If you have been using an iOS device such as an iPhone for some time, you have likely realized that it is actually a closed operating system. What that basically means is that you can only do the things that Apple allows you to and everything else is basically locked down. That means, the freedom you get on other device types, such as Android phones, you do not get it on your iPhone.
AnyTrans for iOS aims to fix that issue by letting you get a number of things done the way you want on your iPhone. It is one of the best iPhone file management apps available out there and it does live up to the hype. It helps transfer data from and to your iPhone, create backups of your device, and even download files off the Internet on your phone.
It comes preloaded with dozens of features and the following are some of the main features you might want to use with your iPhone.
One-click Quick Transfer
Let’s face it. The iPhone does not have some of the best file sharing options that other devices have. Each time you want to send a file from your device to your computer, you need to sync your phone with the iTunes or the Finder apps. While that may be an ideal solution for a large number of files, it does not make sense to use those methods when all you want to do is transfer a single file.
AnyTrans for iOS has a feature called One-click Quick Transfer that makes your iPhone file transfer tasks a whole lot easier. It lets you quickly transfer files from and to your iPhone without having to sync your device with the iTunes app. You also get to choose the file types that are to be transferred.
Phone Switcher
Getting a new phone is exciting but that excitement only lasts until you start migrating data from your old phone over to the new one. Especially when it comes to the iPhone, transferring your data from other phones to the iPhone is extremely difficult even though there are a number of apps claiming to help you with the migration process.
At those times, you can use the Phone Switcher feature of the AnyTrans for iOS app. It has been built to help you easily and seamlessly switch between your devices. The option lets you quickly transfer all the data from your old iPhone or Android device over to the new one. All it takes is a single click on the app interface, and voila all your data is transferred.
iCloud Manager
Although Apple has integrated its cloud service called iCloud with all of its iOS-based devices, there is still a lot that is missing. For example, you cannot easily access the contents of your iCloud account on your iPhone. While you can use the iCloud web app to get it done, it is not an ideal solution in many cases.
AnyTrans has a feature called iCloud Manager that is a fully featured manager for your iCloud account. It allows you to access your account, view the files available in it, downloads files from there to your computer, and even add new files to your account. All that can be done from a single app on your computer. The only thing it needs from your side is your iCloud logins and you are all set.
Backup Manager
When it comes to backing up the iPhone, you have multiple options provided by Apple. You can backup your device to the iCloud or with the iTunes app on your computer. However, the issue is that you cannot selectively transfer contents from these backups to your device. Also, managing these backups is pretty hard in the said apps.
AnyTrans’ Backup Manager allows you to create various types of backups and helps them restore on your device when needed. It lets you create and incremental backups and you can choose what is convenient for you. It also allows you to backup your devices wirelessly so you do not necessarily need to connect them to your computer. The feature helps manage your iTunes backups as well if you are not a big fan of iTunes.
Social Messages Manager
With today’s world utilizing various social messaging apps more and more, it becomes important for you to have backups of your instant messaging conversations. While most apps do offer the feature to help you backup and restore your messages, they are limited in many ways and are not that flexible to use.
The Social Messages Manager feature of AnyTrans aims to bridge that gap. It allows you to easily create a backup of all of your instant messaging conversations. Then, when you need to restore your chats, you can do that with a single click from within the app. Also, if you ever switch from one iPhone to another, you can use the iPhone to iPhone feature to have your chats migrated from your old device to the new one.
Media Downloader
Downloading media from various sources on an iPhone is nothing more than a headache. There really are not many options available to download content on your device. You can either use iTunes or App Store on your phone to download new content and that is pretty much it.
The Media Downloader option in AnyTrans brings more downloading options to your iPhone. With the feature, you can download audio and video from a large number of sites to your computer. Once your chosen content is downloaded, it is then just a click away from being transferred to your iPhone. Some of the sites you can download content from includes YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, and DailyMotion. You can either directly search these sites or you can paste the URL of the content to download it.
App Downloader
Most iPhone users are used to downloading apps from the App Store on your device. However, there used to be a time when you could actually download apps to your iPhone using the iTunes app on your computer. The app no longer comes with that feature and many users who relied on it are missing it very badly.
If you are one of those users, AnyTrans has something called App Downloader. As the name suggests, the feature allows you to search for and download apps from your computer to your iPhone. You launch the feature on your machine, find the apps you want to get on your iPhone, and those apps will be installed on your device. This way, you do not need to perform any app searches on your iPhone and still get apps downloaded to your phone.
Screen Mirroring
When it comes to screen mirroring, you can use Apple’s AirPlay feature to cast your screen to other compatible devices. However, most standard devices out there are not compatible with this format of screen mirroring, and unless you have an expensive Apple TV or something like that, you are totally out of luck.
AnyTrans has the Screen Mirroring feature that allows you to cast the screen of your iPhone to your computer without buying any expensive equipment. All you need to do is install the app, select an option on your iPhone, and your iPhone’s display will be shown on your computer. You can then even record the screen as well as take a screenshot of it, if you want.
Conclusion
AnyTrans for iOS packs so many features that it is really hard to find what it does not have. It is really going to make your life a lot easier if you are considering using an iPhone as your primary device. The app will let you do pretty much everything you want on your iOS device with ease and flexibility.
