Back up your iphone with a broken screen.

The screen of my iphone 7 is broken and the touch screen does not work. Seeing that my phone has not taken any backups to icloud, because I forgot to upgrade the storage space. Have tried various programs that I have found on the internet that should be able to back up the iphone with defect screen without success. The problem with these programs is that my PC does not detect the iphone, but it detects my new iphone even though it is locked when connected. Is there anyone who can help me with this? I have a strong desire to be able to extract data from this mobile, with regard to photos etc.


Thank you for any reply!!

You cannot extract data from a broken phone that was not backed up.


Are you sure you didn’t do ANY of these ways of preserving photos and videos?


  • emailed, texted or messaged the photos to friends or family
  • iCloud photo sync
  • iCloud backup
  • iTunes backup
  • Transfer your photos to your computer via USB cable
  • Apple Photo Stream
  • Sync to Google Photos
  • Sync to some other photo archiving service such as Shutterfly
  • Sync to Dropbox
  • Sync to box.com
  • Sync to Microsoft OneDrive
  • Sync to Amazon Photos
  • back up to Livedrive
  • Backup to any other backup or archiving service

If the answer is no to all of the above your photos are gone forever.
