Device recovery refers to the process of restoring a malfunctioning or non-responsive electronic device, such as a smartphone or computer, to its normal operating state. This can involve troubleshooting issues, performing software updates, or using built-in recovery tools to reset the device. In many cases, users can access recovery modes, like Android Recovery or iOS Recovery Mode, to fix problems without losing personal data. If issues persist, a factory reset may be necessary, which erases all data and settings, returning the device to its original state.
