• iOS data recovery: Chat history from iOS messengers, including Viber, WeChat, kik, WhatsApp, Line, and Skype, is now extracted and categorized comprehensively in scan results
• New file signatures supported by Deep Scan – GZ, TGZ, ALS, FC (FlipaClip: 2D Animation creation app)

Fixes
• Occasional view distortion when folders as icons modes were active in the recovery results that could potentially lead to an app crash

• Rare interface freezing while displaying the operation progress
• All file selection was working incorrectly when folders as icons modes were active in the recovery results window
• App crash while using the Smart Select option in Find Duplicates with a large number of scan results
• NTFS scanner stability issues when deallocated objects were found by Disk Drill
• A crash, occurring during a RAID scan, if the disk images were disconnected suddenly
• Some lags in updating disk list status when new items were added

• Sometimes when the scan was resumed, the “Recover all” and “Review found” items buttons disappeared
• Date Modified values were not shown properly for scan results after the latter were filtered by date
• Some dates in the Date Modified filter could cause an exception when specified (if your files were modified back in the XIX century 😁)
• The drive temperature indicator wasn’t always displaying correct visuals
