iExplorer

Typically, file managers for iOS devices make it possible for you to analyze the contents of whatever device you have connected to the computer. However, iExplorer takes it one step further and offers the same functions for iTunes backups, encrypted or not.

One of the best features of iExplorer is that you do not need to jailbreak your device to gain access to its files and folders. This means that you do not need to tamper with its security and leave it vulnerable to potential attacks, especially if you are not an expert user.

On the other hand, even if your iOS device is jailbroken, you can still use this app to browse its data.

You do not need to have any technical skills to enjoy the feature-set of iExplorer - you only need to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod to the computer using their dedicated USB cables, then start browsing their contents using a colorful intuitive file manager.

First off, you get a brief summary of your device's info, such as model, size and iOS version.

Next, you can choose the file category you are most interested in, such as music, photos and videos, voice memos, messages, contacts, call history, notes, Safari history and bookmarks, calendar entries and so on. You can preview any of these files as you see fit.

Last but not least, iExplorer can be used to export some of your iOS files to your computer - simply right-click the item and save it to a folder of your choice.

To sum things up, iExplorer can easily become your go-to app for exploring the files and directories on your iPhone, iPad and iPod, no matter their model. You also get to backup your most important data with only a few mouse clicks.
