Stellar Data Recovery for Android: Easily Recover Lost Data

Losing data and files on your Android phone is frustrating, especially when its built-in recovery option and other apps focus on backing up, not finding deleted contents. It happened to me, and in this Stellar Data Recovery for Android review, I’ll show you how to get lost contacts, messages, media files, and more recovered.

Whether you delete data by accident, Android crashes, or you damage your phone, all is not lost with PC Android recovery software.

How Can Lost Data Be Recovered?

The good news? Even if you delete something, Android only removes the pointer that indicates where the file is stored on the device’s memory. The actual data remains until it is overwritten by new data.

Top Tip: As soon as you notice missing data, stop using your phone and downloading new items to stand the strongest chance of recovery.

Using Stellar Data Recovery for Android

Stellar Data Recovery for Android is a leading Android data recovery software for Windows. It supports Windows 11, 10, and Windows 8.1(x64 edition only).

The software helps you recover lost or deleted videos, photos, music, and other files like documents. Moreover, it can recover contacts, call history, text messages, and even WhatsApp messages and media, including WhatsApp Business data!

It supports Android OS 6 through 14 and all Android phones, such as Samsung, OnePlus, and more. It performs recovery without rooting your phone.

Stellar Data Recovery for Android is applicable whether you:

• Deleted data from internal storage or the recently deleted folder
• Are suffering from malware or virus infections
• Physically broke the device or it won’t even respond

Select What to Recover

After installing the software, you are immediately greeted with a clean interface asking you what you want to recover. On the left you can select to Recover Android Data (standard phone data), WhatsApp Data, and WhatsApp Business Data. 

Under these main categories are individual data and file types. For example, when selecting Recover Android Data, you can choose photos, contacts, etc. This is a great time saver, when you know what you’re looking for. Other data recovery tools often use a catch-all approach, so I found this useful.

Simply check the boxes next to each type of data and click next to proceed. You will then be prompted to connect your device by USB. If you haven’t already, you’ll be guided on how to enable USB debugging.

Scan Your Android Phone

Once properly connected, click Scan and it will find your chosen data, but sit tight as its deep scan can take several minutes depending on how much data is stored and recoverable.

When the scan is finished, all your recoverable data and files are organized down the left pane. 

Furthermore, you can preview them on the right, so you know exactly what’s available. E.g., select documents and you can see them right there in the main window. Here I preview my own documents:

What Can You Preview?

What’s more, even if you have other file types, you might not be able to preview them, but they are still listed and recoverable!

Saving Your Data

I especially like that you can choose exactly what to save. 

Furthermore, instead of getting bogged down with GBs of data, selecting the Deleted radio button from the preview window and checking files with the deleted icon ensures you only recover deleted or otherwise lost data.

To complete the process, click save and select a location on your computer. 

It’s as easy as that!
