# Performing Mobile Device Forensics with Cellebrite

## When to Use
- When extracting evidence from smartphones or tablets during an investigation
- For recovering deleted messages, call logs, and location data from mobile devices
- During investigations involving communications via messaging apps
- When analyzing mobile application data for evidence of criminal activity
- For corporate investigations involving employee mobile device misuse

## Detection Gaps & Validation

The extraction type and device lock state silently bound what you can recover. Don't mistake a shallow acquisition for a complete one:

- **Logical extraction misses the deleted data.** UFED/iLEAPP logical pulls return only live app data; deleted messages, freelist/WAL rows, and unallocated content require File System or Physical (checkm8/GrayKey on supported iOS, rooted/EDL on Android). Report the extraction level explicitly — "no deleted messages found" on a logical pull is a coverage gap, not a finding.
