A user's smartphone was stolen. They have purchased a new, identical model and want to restore their contacts, photos, and application data. Which of the following is the MOST effective method to recover the data?
Restore the data from a cloud backup.
Use data recovery software on the new phone.
Contact the mobile carrier to retrieve the data from their network.
Using a cloud service like iCloud or Google Workspace is the most effective method for recovering data from a lost, stolen, or broken mobile device. These services regularly back up user data, allowing it to be restored onto a new replacement device. This can include contacts, applications, emails, photos, and other files. Data recovery software works on existing storage, which is not accessible on a stolen phone. The mobile carrier and SIM card do not store this type of user data.
