XRY 8.1
Introducing XRY Photon Manual: The XRY Photon feature is designed for recovering smartphone app data that is inaccessible through normal extraction techniques. It uses an exclusive screen-scraping function to capture the data electronically in a .xry file with searchable artifacts. Now the power of XRY Photon has been expanded to cover hundreds of additional apps with a new manual option.

Newly purchased XRY kits include a KAD (Keep Awake Dongle) pack. The pack includes the Keep Awake Dongle, a Micro USB OTG adaptor and a USB-C OTG adaptor.
