Sold iPhone data recovery after factory reset

Hi there,

I just sold my iPhone to a friend after doing a full factory reset. I was wandering if, using some software, he can recover my data (photos, contacts, etc.) or if data recovery software works only on the data of the current user, i.e. the user who generated the last backup.


Thanks


F.

iPhone 5, iOS 10.3.3

You will either need to restore the last backup you made prior to erasing it to an iOS device, or get it from whatever cloud service you were syncing the data to. There is no way to recover it from the device itself.
