Supported message evidence includes SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp and Signal.
Follow a targeted collectionSTART WITH THE MATTER
Sometimes counsel needs phone evidence, but a full collection is broader than the matter calls for. Scope and privacy concerns belong in that first conversation.
A more focused option when the matter calls for something narrower.
MANAGED COLLECTIONSCollection request
“My client is concerned about his privacy. Can we limit this collection to messages and calls?”
Built around what the matter needs.
AGREE IT BEFORE COLLECTION
Choose calls, messages, contacts, or all three. In this example, calls and messages, including Signal evidence, are selected. Contacts stay outside the delivered scope.
Supported messages can include SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp and Signal evidence.
MANAGED COLLECTIONSBefore the collection

SELECTED CATEGORIES
Choose one or more supported categories when the requested scope is narrower.
Targeted collection limits the delivered dataset to the selected supported categories, with the supporting files needed for those artifacts. Available content depends on the device and collection method.
