Recently, a lot of programs and applications have appeared that promise to recover data, including photos, contacts and messages from Android phones and tablets. Unfortunately, not all of them are effective, especially in light of the fact that most of these devices are now connected to the computer via the MTP protocol, and not USB Mass Storage (in the latter case, all the programs listed above could be used).
