hello,
I wanted to take complete backup of my iPhone i.e all apps installed along with its documents & data downloaded for that particular apps...
iTunes only does all the backup of apps, but not the backup of documents & data...
Example - app size is 46 mb...but size of documents & data is 4 gb....Itunes makes backup of 46mb only
so how can I have complete backup..
MacBook Pro, mac os x sierra
The best thing I can say is that Apple recommends that developers have their apps set to put their files in a certain section and to have that available for the backup. Not all do. That is a question to ask the developer. When your backup is taken, it backs up a certain section of the phone, and if the app data is not there, it doesn't get backed up. As you attempt to compare to Android devices, you need to remember they are an open system, and the iPhone is not. It is sandboxed on purpose to prevent problems with things accessing areas they shouldn't.
I would check to see if your data is backed up by restoring the device from backup. If something is not backed up, then contact the developer as to how that is supposed to happen. I am not aware of any kind of listing of what apps don't backup, but I know I've read of some that do not have their own backup system.

No, that is not at all the purpose of these forums.
And no, such an app does not exist as no app can do what you wish due to the inherent design of iOS, and the App Store software distribution system.
hello ChrisJ....from your explanation I u/stand it is impossible to have a complete backup unless the developer does something.....
that means, even a 3rd party app cannot help here.....
Iphone complete backup with app + documents + data
