Just a month after adding Apple Watch support with iOS 8.2, Apple has released iOS 8.3 with a larger and much more wide-ranging list of fixes. The update is available as an over-the-air update or through iTunes for any device running iOS 8, including the iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6, and 6 Plus; all iPads except the first-generation model; and the fifth-generation iPod Touch.
As any iOS update, iOS 8.3 update generally adds some new features and squashes serious bugs, and, unfortunately, it can also introduce new problems. Data loss after the update is one of them which frustrate the most. Well data loss can be caused by the update itself with no good reason or by mistaken deletion when you try to make room for iOS 8.3 updating.
You can simply restore it from iTunes or iCloud if you've backed up your device. But please keep in mind that the restoration from iTunes or iCloud will lead to erase of existing content. Since neither iTunes nor iCloud supports selective data restoration, you can resort to an iOS data recovery tool to retrieve the personal data, media data and app data, etc.
Never trust iTunes and iCloud and turn all your precious data like Contacts, Notes, Messages, Photos and Reminders etc under the mercy of iTunes/iCloud backup only. The safest way is to transfer the recovered data from iCloud backup to your computer, especially the photos and messages, which would take much space but you don’t need to keep all the time on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
iFonebox, a professional iOS data recovery application can simply help you recover the lost or deleted data from iTunes backup or iCloud backup and enables people to extract selectively Contacts, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, and Photos from iCloud backup file and transfer to your PC, Since iCloud only offers 5GB free storage space.
