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.

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! I realize that this is an old post but I just stumbled upon it when I discovered that my iplugmate doesn't work anymore. I am having the same issue as everyone. I tried looking for your post on how to revert back to the iOS 15 to retrieve my info but I can't seem to find your post. Would you mind posting it again in response to me? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks.

I have a MacBook Pro with IOS 14.2.1 and an external USB hub. I inserted my iPlugmate drive into the USB connector and can read any file on the disk. While I am not happy about losing the IOS app and its capabilities, at least I can retrieve the files stored on the disk. Plus, it makes for a 64 gig backup for files from my Mac. And for general backup of my iPhone 12, I use the iMazing app on the Mac. I can drag and drop files from the Mac to my phone and backup the entire phone and keep old backups as well. All you need is a cable.
