They take a whole dump for future forensic if needed, and that includes the ability to restore what you have deleted.
- j5155 2y agoSurely this is not possible (assuming the recently deleted folder is cleared)? I know it could be done with insecurely erased hard drives but I dont think any phones are using those?
- tamimio 2y agoIt is indeed possible, recovering a fully deleted file or even chats logs is the easiest part, given it’s unlocked. I don’t know about Australia, but plenty of law enforcements use cellebrite (1), and there are other tools too that provide such forensic analysis.

- DEADMINCE 2y agoIf you wipe the phone completely and re-image it, they can't recover a thing.
