Here are some common methods to recover data from broken screen phones…
USB OTG Cable & Mouse (Android): If the screen is visible but touch is unresponsive, connect a USB mouse via an OTG (On-The-Go) cable to control your phone and transfer files.
External Display (Android/iPhone with USB-C video out): For some phones, especially those with USB-C that support video output, use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to mirror your screen to a monitor.
USB Debugging (Android): If USB Debugging was enabled and the computer authorized previously, connect to a PC to access files directly.
Cloud Backups (Android/iPhone): If you regularly backed up to Google Drive, iCloud, or other cloud services, you can restore data to a new device.
SD Card (Android): If your data was saved on an SD card, simply remove it and insert it into another device or card reader.
Manufacturer’s Software (Samsung Smart Switch, etc.): Some brands offer PC software that can back up data even with a broken screen if the phone is detectable.
Data Recovery Software: Specialized software can scan your device’s internal storage for recoverable files, though success varies with damage.
Remote Control Apps: If set up previously, some apps allow remote control of your phone from a computer.
Voice Commands: If enabled, voice assistants like Google Assistant or Siri might allow navigation and access to some features.
