IPlugmate app

When I open the IPlugmate app it disappears immediately. I removed the app and downloaded it again, but it still doesn’t work properly. I am trying to backup my iPhone 12 to my HooToo flash drive but without IPlugmate working properly, I can’t backup my iPhone.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

iPhone 12 Pro

This is not an Apple issue, it’s IPlugmate that needs to update the app. It appears this is discontinued so there’s little to Jo chance that will happen. I was able to successfully revert back to iOS 15 and copy whatever I needed from IPlugmate to my phone. I just purchased a different brand to store what I need from my phone. If you need to recover documents then you probably should revert back to iOS 15 to retrieve these from the drive.

I posted a link to the steps to this on this discussion a couple of days ago. It worked for me. I hope you can get this resolved and if you have any questions please reply back and I’ll be happy to help.

Hi everyone! I want to point out that since IPlugmate is NOT an Apple app and was not developed by them … Apple cannot fix it. You will need find a way to contact the developer with your questions. It is the responsibility of third party app developers to make their product compatible with different devices.

I am having the same issue!!! It's so frustrating!! I have been an Apple User since Generation 1 till NOW and I'm SERIOUSLY considering going to Android! I understand Apple's propriety way of business; however, It fails when you don't take care of your customers! APPLE FAILS TOO MUCH!! GROWING TOO FAST!!????

It’s not iPlugMate only, a few of my other free apps like memory and junk removal no longer work.


i guess if you pay a subscription for the apps — they will work. But for my hardware that i paid $$. It’s a total ripoff that apple ecosystems banned the apps from working

Does Apple sell an equivalent to the HooToo flash drive? This is serious horse manure. The same thing has happened with the WhatsApp Ap. You cant find it in the App Store any longer either.

Maybe we can get Elon to buy Apple next. LOL - Let Freedom Ring !!!!

I gave up waiting for a fix for iPlugmate and purchased iDiskk, which looks similar to a Hootoo flash drive but not exact. However when I downloaded the companion iDiskk Max app it looked very suspiciously close to iPlugmate. Perhaps the company has rebranded itself. In any case it all works fine on a iPhone 14 Pro Max with IOS 16. You just have to shell out more money for the new flash drive and use your hootoo only on PCs.

So, from what I can gather, RavPower are the sole distributor of the HooToo flash drives, and the latest model uses a new app called U-Hub......which is not available for download in the USA!!!!!!! Amazing. So, I think your chances of getting an update on the old iplugmate app are slim-to-none.

Shady company.

So the only solution is to get a lightning to usb a adapter. so we can see in files the key

Hootoo and then recover photos and manage this key by the USP port. thank you.
