Can police recover data after factory reset?

Yes, police can often retrieve data from a factory-reset phone, especially older models, because standard resets don't fully overwrite data; modern devices use strong encryption, making recovery harder but still possible for skilled forensics labs, though cloud backups pose a significant risk for data retrieval. Forensics can recover parts of deleted data by finding fragments, and on newer phones, destroying the encryption key during reset can make data unreadable unless the key is compromised or found, but cloud data linked to the user account is a major source for recovery.
