Once The Transfer Has Been Completed

Apple surprised everyone by removing the App Store from iTunes 12.7. So users no longer have the capability to sync apps to their iPhone or iPad using iTunes. This is not an issue for most users who download apps directly from their iPhone or iPad, but for those who rely on iTunes to manage their iOS apps, it’s going to be a problem. Syncing apps using iTunes came in handy to users with a limited internet bandwidth or those who owned multiple iOS devices. It can also come in handy to install apps that are no longer available in the App Store. While you can downgrade from iTunes 12.7 to iTunes 12.6, the process is not as straightforward. Luckily, there’s a third-party software that will allow you to install apps onto iPhone or iPad without using iTunes. Mazing is powerful iOS device manager that has a data extraction tool to backup, restore, and install apps onto your iOS device.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use iMazing to backup and install apps on your iPhone or iPad without iTunes. The best part is that you can backup selected apps and their data and restore them in the future. Step 1: Download and install iMazing on your computer. Step 2: Connect your iOS device to your computer and open iMazing. Step 3: From the left sidebar, choose Apps. Step 4: iMazing displays all the apps that are installed on your iPhone. Select the apps which you wish to backup to your computer. To select multiple apps, hold down the Shift key and click on the apps you’d like to select. Step 5: Click on Manage Apps apps in the bottom, then select Extract App. Step 6: A file browser is displayed. Browse to the folder where you want to extract the selected apps, then click on the Choose button. This will display a confirmation dialog box.

Step 7: To backup the apps, iMazing first needs to refresh your current backup. Click on the Back Up Now. Step 8: iMazing now begins to extract the selected apps to your computer. You can view the progress of the transfer in the Operations window. Once the transfer has been completed, you’ll find the apps in the folder that you selected in Step 6. They ‘ll have the .imazingapp file extension. Most apps are relatively small, and only take a few seconds to copy. But some apps, notably games, can be a gigabyte or more, and may take a while to copy. Step 1: Connect your iOS device to your computer and open iMazing. Step 2: From the left sidebar, choose Apps. Step 3: Click on Manage Apps in the bottom, then select Restore App. Step 4: A file browser is displayed. Browse and select the .imazingapp or .ipa files that you’d like to install on your iOS device. Note: if you choose a .imazingapp file, then make sure that the app is already installed on your device otherwise iMazing won’t be able to restore its content and data.

Step 6: A confirmation message is displayed. Click Continue to begin installing the selected apps onto your device. Step 7: The progress of the installation will be displayed in the Operations window. Once done, your device might be restarted. This is how you can install apps on your iPhone or iPad without iTunes, as well as backup important apps and their data. If you face any issues, do let us know in the comments below. Note: While the trial version of iMazing allows you to transfer only a limited number of items as you can see in the table below, backing up and restoring apps is not limited. Let us know if iMazing is a good workaround to backup and install apps on your iPhone and iPad without iTunes.

To track some of your activity, you’ll need to enable the functions and then add them to your Health app dashboard. This is all done through the Health app itself, but again, it requires a newer iPhone, as older models do not have a motion tracking chip used to function as a pedometer, or the ability to detect elevation. For best results with this Health app feature, you’ll need an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, though iPhone 5S also has a motion coprocessor. Third party devices can also work, but we’re focusing on iPhone here. Now that the pedometer and distance movement functions are enabled, the rest is up to you, meaning you have to actually move around to see the statistics change. The Flights Climbed function works well too, and is fairly interesting in that it uses the new air pressure sensor built into iPhones to detect even minor changes in altitude. Each “flight” is about the equivalent of a housing story of steps, so if you walked upstairs a single story in a house or office, it would register as a flight climbed. You don’t need to be on actual stairs for the flights climbed to register though, it takes the relative assumption of height into consideration and works even on gradual inclines and declines too. If you don’t want to use Health app and have no intention on tracking your fitness or activity levels, you’re left to basically ignore the app.
