Mobile data is one of the most important sources of evidence in modern litigation
May 6, 2026

Mobile data is one of the most important sources of evidence in modern litigation—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode of In Discovery Mode, Ryan Frye (Chief Innovation Officer, ModeOne) sits down with Jason Voss to unpack one of the biggest risks facing legal and eDiscovery teams today: the false assumption that “if you collected it, you have everything.”

From missing attachments and incomplete message threads to misunderstood data sources (like email not actually living on a phone), this conversation breaks down where mobile collections go wrong—and why those gaps often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

They also explore:

  • Why attachments are often missing, orphaned, or disconnected
  • How data gets fragmented across devices, upgrades, and apps
  • The impact of evolving ecosystems like iCloud and messaging platforms
  • Why better scoping—not just better tools—is the key to defensibility

Because the biggest risk in mobile discovery isn’t bad data—it’s not knowing what you’re missing.
