MOBILedit Forensic 9.8 is here, taking smartwatch forensics and device analysis to the next level: Now with expanded multi-language support — available in 16 languages. Work offline, extract heart rate data from Samsung watches beyond recorded activities, gain full activity insights from Garmin devices, analyze Samsung network diagnostics, unlock UNISOC and EXYNOS devices with advanced security bypassing, and much more.

Discover all the new capabilities in this release — and join our upcoming webinar to see them in action.

What’s New:

MOBILedit UI and reports available in 16 languages!

MOBILedit is designed for ease of use, and we continuously work to further simplify workflows for investigators. Version 9.8 introduces expanded language support. Both the UI and reports are now available in 16 languages, including French, Italian, German, Ukrainian, Arabic, Vietnamese, Czech, Spanish, Estonian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, and Chinese.

Is there a language you'd like to see added? Let us know – we'd be happy to expand our language options even further!

Smartwatch forensics expanded: Root access and data beyond recorded activities

As a pioneer in smartwatch forensics, MOBILedit continues to expand the depth of data extraction and analysis. For Samsung watches, it is now possible to extract heart rate data even when no activity is running — capturing data points at regular intervals (every 10 minutes) over extended periods and enabling evaluation of long-term health and behavioral patterns. Samsung network diagnostics data has also been added, further expanding available data sources.

With recent updates, root access is now supported on Samsung Galaxy Watch devices, including the latest Galaxy Watch Series 8, significantly expanding extraction capabilities.


On Garmin devices, extended analysis now includes total time spent in activities, schedules, and workouts, providing a more complete behavioral timeline.
This enables investigators to reconstruct timelines, validate statements, and identify behavioral patterns even outside recorded activities.

   

Advanced UNISOC and EXYNOS security bypassing

Advanced security bypass capabilities for UNISOC and EXYNOS devices included in version 9.8 were delivered earlier through Live Updates — ensuring investigators have immediate access to the latest methods as soon as they become available, without waiting for major software releases.

On UNISOC devices, it is now possible to extract a full physical image, decrypt data, and perform bruteforce on supported chipsets, enabling full access to user data.

For EXYNOS, a newly developed method significantly expands device coverage and enables root access across a much wider range of devices, including those with the latest security patches. This capability also extends to Samsung Galaxy Watch devices, including the latest Galaxy Watch Series 8, where root access is now possible.

Field-ready licensing: Offline support for network licenses

Network licenses can now be used in offline mode, allowing investigators to temporarily transfer a license from the lab to the field. This enables full use of MOBILedit in environments without network connectivity, supporting operational flexibility in field work.
