iMyFone LockWiper Features

Here are the most important features you’ll be using if you try or buy this truly efficient iPhone unlocker.

Easy-to-Use Interface

The best feature of iMyFone LockWiper is its zero learning curve.

You don’t need to be a computer software or hardware engineer to operate the tool. All of its UI buttons do exactly as their names say. Also, it shows warnings and requirements before you can proceed with the unlocking tasks.

All of LockWiper’s sub-tools come with guided instructions.

Suppose, you’d like to unlock Apple ID in an iPhone running iOS 11.4 and Find My is active on it. Here, you must apply Reset All Settings on the iPhone. The tool will appropriately guide you on when and how to reset all device settings on your iPhone.

In another instance, for complex unlocking, you must access the DFU mode on your iOS device. LockWiper shall show a visual instruction so you can easily access the DFU screen on the device.

Unlock Apple ID

If you’ve forgotten your Apple ID and the iPhone has somehow locked you out, you can use the Unlock Apple ID feature to regain access to your iPhone.

It also comes in handy if you wish to switch to a new Apple ID on the current iPhone. The feature also works on iPads and iPods.

The Apple ID unlocking module supports the following iOS and security status scenarios:

• Find My has been disabled prior to unlocking of Apple ID in all iOS editions.
• Find My is active and only supported on Apple devices running iOS 11.4 or earlier versions.
• Two-factor authentication is in effect and only supported for devices running iOS 11.4 and newer operating systems.

Once LockWiper wipes the Apple ID from the iOS device, you can set up your new ID on it. All the above scenarios involve the complete deletion of device settings and data.

Unlock Screen Passcode

Now, let’s see if LockWiper is legit when it comes to unlocking your phone’s screen passcode.

If you’ve forgotten the PIN or locked your iOS device by attempting multiple incorrect passcode entries, you can use the Unlock Screen Passcode feature of LockWiper to regain control of your device.

The process involves the erasure of device settings and data completely. Also, you must enter the original Apple ID password to set up the device from scratch. Once unlocked, your iPhone or iPad gets the latest iOS software too.

Though you can use iTunes or Finder as well to unlock your iOS device, the process is highly complicated.

Unlock Screen Time Passcode

If you’re a parent and have forgotten the Screen Time passcode for an iPhone or iPad, this feature is particularly helpful. It can unlock the passcode so you can set up a new password for Screen Time or wipe out all Screen Time restrictions so you can set up the device from scratch.

The unlocking process preserves device settings and data if the Screen Time lock has been set up directly on the device using the Lock Screen Time Settings on the iPhone or iPad.

If you’ve used Family Sharing to enforce screen time restrictions, then the device will be wiped out. In the second scenario, you must back up the device before proceeding.

LockWiper supports almost all iOS devices for screen time lock removal. However, the process slightly differs in devices that use iOS 12.0 and newer versus iOS 11.0 and older smartphones.

The tool automatically identifies if you’ve connected iOS 12.0 or later devices or iOS 11.0 or older devices. Accordingly, it updates the user interface options so it can visually guide you through the whole process.

Bypass MDM Settings

You often use mobile device management (MDM) configuration profiles on business iOS devices to prevent theft of device and organization data.

However, it’s easy to forget the credentials of such MDM-protected iOS devices. If that’s the case, the Bypass MDM feature helps. It has two subfeatures and these are Bypass MDM and Remove MDM.

Suppose, the MDM unlocking Username and Password aren’t working on an iPhone. Your employee needs it urgently for office work.

In that case, you can temporarily bypass the MDM lock using the Bypass MDM module to allow the employee to access the device and retrieve data.

When they restart the iPhone, the MDM lock reengages. By that time, you should have created a new Username and Password to go past the MDM lock screen.

In another situation, due to some technical issue or bug, the MDM profile you’ve set up isn’t working at all. In that case, you can easily get rid of this faulty DM configuration using the Remove MDM feature. Once removed, you can install a fresh MDM profile to protect your devices.

Note: If you’re an employee, contact your employer directly for MDM configuration-related complaints. Don’t try to use this app to remove or bypass MDM restrictions. You’ll definitely put your employment at risk.

Configure Accessibility Settings

iOS offers 26 different types of accessibility features spread across five categories: Vision, Physical and Motor, Hearing, Speech, and General. If you find it hard to remember where to go to disable or enable them, you can trust the Accessibility Setting feature LockWiper.

It scans the device to find out the active and inactive accessibility settings and shows you a list that you can then use the enable or disable the specific functionality.

Also, if you’re sharing your iPhone with a family member who has special accessibility needs, the tool can help you activate those features in a few clicks.

LockWiper Toolbox

Besides just unlocking your iPhone or iPad, there are many other things you can do with the LockWiper software. These additional software modules aren’t immediately installed when you set it up for the first time. That’s a thoughtful functionality to keep your software installation lightweight.

You can go to the LockWiper Toolbox after installing the app and add more add-ons for free if needed. These extra features are as follows:

• UmatePro: Erases your iPhone and iPad data permanently if you’re giving away or selling the devices.
• Fixppo: Fixes various iOS device issues related to the operating system.
• iByPasser: It helps you unlock SIM cards and bypass activation locks in iPhones and iPads.
• LockWiper Android: If you happen to have a locked Android or unlocking an Android belonging to a family member, you can use this functionality for free.
• Fixppo Android: It fixes operating system-level errors in Android mobile phones.
• RewriteX: It’s an artificial intelligence tool to perfect your English writing skills and qualities by commanding an AI to rewrite texts for you.

iTunes Repair

You particularly need this feature if you’re using a Windows PC or a Mac running Mojave or older operating systems. Since the LockWiper uses various modules of iTunes to fix iOS issues and locks, faulty iTunes installation can result in failure.

That’s why LockWiper offers the iTunes Repair tool for free so you can fix the iTunes package and continue with fixing locks or features in your iPhone.

The repairing tool is really simple. It automatically detects the status of the iTunes package and shows a warning note if there are any issues. The Repair button will activate if your iTunes needs fixing.

User Account Settings

This feature allows you to port your LockWiper subscription on any device. This lets you log in to your iMyFone account from any PC or Mac after installing the trial software to enjoy subscription benefits.

Also, you can control your iMyFone subscriptions from the user portal. iMyFone extends your subscription automatically if the latest credit or debit card details are available on its server. So, after buying a one-month or one-year subscription, you can cancel it from your user account.

LockWiper’s pricing plans are pretty complicated. Here’s a simplified table to understand it more easily:
