I used iMyfone Umate which you install on Windows, not as an app on the phone.

I'm not wrong at all, these apps are pointless. You're wrong thinking they're not available for iOS.

"Your app should remove files from this directory when they are no longer needed; however, the system may purge this directory when your app is not running."

So you did something that would have happened anyway.

It doesn't get used much as its more of a backup phone, the battery usage is up and down. Taken off charge today at 6.30 am with light use I have 80% left now but I have days where I have not used the phone and similar time charge to now and gave 28% left. I have also saw the phone die in an hour with no use when I had 50% battery.

I never use wifi and I don't use Bluetooth.
