Cell Phone Forensics & Mobile Device Analysis

Cell phones can contain extensive digital evidence relating to communications, activity, locations, timelines, photographs, applications, and other events. CAER performs forensic examinations of iPhones, Android devices, and other mobile devices to identify and analyze information relevant to legal matters, investigations, and other sensitive matters.

What Cell Phone Forensics Can Reveal

Depending on the device, its configuration, and the available data, a forensic examination may provide access to information such as:

  • Text messages, iMessages, and supported chat application data
  • Call history, contacts, and voicemail
  • Photos, videos, and other multimedia
  • Application data and social media activity available on the device
  • Web browsing history and internet activity
  • Location data, GPS information, and mapping artifacts
  • Device metadata, timestamps, and system information
  • Deleted and hidden data when technically recoverable
