Media artifacts on a device – both captured with the device’s on-board cameras and transmitted to the device through various methods – can be another area of interest during an investigation.
Application artifacts are an important data source in mobile device investigations.
Web browser activity artifacts are digital clues suspects create when they use web browsers on mobile devices. Browser history, cookies, cache, and file downloads are all web activity artifacts that investigators may find useful during a mobile device investigation.
Communication artifacts are digital breadcrumbs suspects leave behind in the form of emails, social media, native chat applications like the Messages app on iOS, or a third-party application like Signal. Learn how to find and use them.
