Dr. Fone is a 360-degree piece-of-mind tool suite for iOS and Android.
Smartphones are the most owned pieces of technology. Most of us have at least one or more, catering to various use cases such as phone calls, social media, streaming, gaming, etc.
Consequently, we want to work them flawlessly without any interruption.
But that’s hardly the case, and we run into problems every now and then. While running to the authorized service center is the best solution, this can be overkill, involving huge waste of resources.
So, we’re here with Dr.Fone, a software suite to help you out of many problems with just a few clicks.
Currently, this tool kit has nine tools you can buy as a package or separately. Let’s review each one to see what it’s about.
WhatsApp Transfer
WhatsApp has become an integral part of many personal and business lives.
As evident by the name, this is about WhatsApp data transfer between iOS to Android, Android to iOS, Android to Android, and iOS to iOS.
Available for Windows and Mac, this works effortlessly with a few clicks, including with WhatsApp business accounts.
However, this isn’t limited to data transfer. Instead, you can take offline backups on your PC, preview selectively, and restore them accordingly.
Besides it also works for LINE, Kik, Viber, and WeChat.
Screen Unlock
We all enjoy the enhanced security via screen locks, only to realize how annoying it can be when you forget the pattern or passcode or during a malfunction.
Dr. Fone Screen Unlock takes this pain away with a few simple steps.
Besides, you don’t need to be a geek to perform unlocking if you can follow standard on-screen instructions.

Besides the internal storage, one can also deploy it to gain access to lost data on an SD card.
Phone Backup
Data backup and restore is rarely a user-friendly thing to do. And it’s nothing less than a nightmare if you opt to move across operating systems.
This Phone Backup, however, is a potent hassle-free solution to all these backup and restore issues.
For instance, it lets you selectively back up data from your Android, preview, and restore it to any Android or iOS device. In the same fashion, one can back up from iOS and restore to Android/iOS with a few clicks.
Besides you can also use this to restore iTunes/iCloud backup to Android or iOS devices.
Finally, this backup tool features incremental restore to offer minimum processing times without data overwrites.
