I have years of Arc Mini logs that I would like to export off an old iPhone. I’d be happy to pay for Arc Timeline 4 to enable this, but would it be able to get to this data?
@gerwitz, a question back first, because the answer turns on it: is Arc Timeline 3 (the main Arc app) also installed on that iPhone, and does its timeline show those same years?
Arc Timeline 4 brings history across from Arc Timeline 3 in two ways: directly from its database on the same phone (Migrate from Arc Timeline 3, in Settings), and from its iCloud backups (Settings → Backup & Restore → Import Arc Timeline 3 Backups). So whether your Mini years are reachable comes down to whether they’re also in Arc Timeline 3’s timeline, on that phone or in its iCloud backups, and that’s what the question settles. It would also help to know the old phone’s model and iOS version: Arc Timeline 4 needs iOS 26, and that decides which phone a migration can run on.

@gerwitz, a small addition while you check: Arc Mini recorded into the same shared database Arc Timeline 3 uses. Whether Arc Timeline 3 has also been on that phone, and the phone’s model and iOS version, still decide what Arc Timeline 4 can reach, so those answers are the next step.
