iMazing has been a go-to tool for Apple power users and IT admins for almost 20 years, now developer DigiDNA is out with iMazing 3. The major release sees a re-engineering of the whole app that brings a new UI and features, and even Vision Pro compatibility to join iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple TV support.
You may have heard about Pegasus, which is a spyware created by the NSO group based on zero-day vulnerabilities to collect data from smartphones without user consent. Now iMazing has updated its app to include a new tool that can easily detect Pegasus spyware on iPhone.
iMazing is a popular tool that lets users manage and back up all the content from an iPhone or iPad without using iTunes or Finder. The app was updated today with some great new features, including support for the new Apple ProRAW photo format and a native version for Macs with M1 chip.

Years later, when Jobs wanted Apple’s iOS devices to be even simpler, he dumped the Mac’s windows and drag-and-drop file system in favor of a grid of icons. There wasn’t even a trash can to worry about — instead, iOS would automatically discard unused files as needed.

Consequently, your device may be holding a large collection of junk that could be dumped to free up gigabytes of space.
Below, I’ll show you how to clean your iOS device for free using two apps, one of which you definitely already have installed…
