However, there are many Third-party tools online that let you manage your iOS or Android devices, but since spying and collecting data by apps is on a high, you can’t trust most of them quickly. Also, many of them lack in certain functionalities and capabilities when compared to other apps. So, in an urge of solving this situation, we came across many advanced phone managers and certainly fell in love with this: TunesGo from Wondershare.

You can download TunesGo from their official website, and the application is available for Windows and Mac. The installer is a small sub 1 MB file, and after that, it downloads the additional resources using your internet.
