iMazing is an Apple device backup software that supports iPhone, iPad, iPod and other devices. This software supports backing up all the data of the iPhone. Many users use iMazing to back up the mobile phone contacts, but when deleting the contacts, they cannot delete them. As shown in the figure below, iMazing wants to delete the address book, and the delete button is gray.

This is because iMazing organizes the current phone backup into a backup file, and cannot delete a certain photo or contact individually. In this case, the user can delete the backup file, which will also delete the backup address book.

Why do more and more people like to use iMazing to back up data instead of iCloud?
1. iCloud has less free space, only 5GB free space, which cannot meet the needs of most users. If users want more iCloud space, they need to pay for upgrades every month, which will be a huge expense.

2. iCloud backup is not timely. Since iCloud relies on the network to transmit data, by default it will only upload data when it is connected to WiFi and the phone is in charging state, which may lead to untimely backup. However, iMazing can use the data cable to transmit data at a faster speed, and iMazing provides a more convenient wireless transmission method.
