Hello, The local police in my area have wrongly accused me of being involved in a crime. They subsequently seized my iPhone and told me that they want to recover messages and Safari browsing history. I explained that I very regularly delete my text messages and Safari history but they insisted that they must look for themselves. I am curious as to what they can actually dig out from my iPhone. It’s an iPhone XS Max running iOS 13. The phone was passcode protected with only 4 digits. I did not provide them with the passcode. Can anyone tell me if A) The police can crack a four digit passcode on such model of iPhone? and B) Can they recover my deleted data?
