Q: How to Recover Deleted History on iPhone Selectively?

I need to restore the Safari history from my iTunes/iCloud backup but I don’t know where to find the specific one. I want to restore some of the important websites from my Safari history, but I can’t see the details from here. It just allows me to restore a whole backup file but can’t preview. Can anyone give me some suggestions to view and retrieve deleted history on iPhone selectively?


A: If your backups are saved in either iCloud or iTunes, then you can directly restore the backup when your iDevice is connected to iTunes on a computer, but you are not allowed to selectively preview and restore the backup files. In hence, if you want to preview and restore some important Safari history selectively, here we will promote you to use some third-party tool to do it.
