AFWD 2.0 features
Everything AFWD 2.0 can do.
Backups and restores, messages, live Android texts, a Media Center, file transfer, Theme Studio, and support tools—in one Windows app.
Backup & restore
Back up and restore iPhones
Choose how to back up: Incremental updates your last AFWD backup with what changed and is fast after the first run. Full makes a fresh complete backup and keeps the previous one until the new one succeeds. Messages only reads the iPhone directly and keeps just Messages, small and restorable.
Encryption is optional and stays off unless you turn it on. AFWD never saves backup passwords, and data decrypted to read an encrypted backup is kept in AFWD’s private folder only while the backup is open.
- Incremental, full, or messages-only backups
- Restore from your AFWD backups
- Device trust, battery, and storage at a glance
Messages

Browse conversations from backups and phones, search across them, select messages, save attachments, and export what you need.

The AFWD Companion phone app links your Android phone for live texts over Wi-Fi. The Device page offers the Companion to a phone as a QR download over your local Wi-Fi, or installs it over USB.

- Android music and media in the Media Center
Media Center
Your music, videos, and photos in one place
The Media Center brings music, videos, photos, and playlists from this PC, your phones, and Spotify together. Sign in to Spotify through Spotify’s own page to bring in playlists and Liked Songs; AFWD never sees your password.
