During the last years the evolution of mobile devices was unprecedented. With this increasing
popularity of mobile devices and apps, security and privacy concerns have emerged as a salient
area of inquiry for researchers. In this thesis, we focus on iOS devices due to, not only the lack of
research in this area, but also by the Apple’s restrictions which is far more challenging to
investigate compared to Android. More specifically, we study the data leakage and privacy
issues posed to iPhone users. This research is aim to gain sensitive information from a mobile
device to point out that various iOS apps have data leakage issues. Using the latest forensic tools
we present methodologies to acquire data from many renown apps. Our objective is to improve
user’s privacy highlighted the missing security mechanisms in order to avoid data and privacy
leaks.
