Lantern vs. Cellebrite: different jobs, better together
Phone extraction tools pull data off a seized device. Lantern works on what providers send back from a search warrant — and tells you what to do next.
If you already use a phone extraction tool, keep it. Lantern covers the warrant-return side — and many cases have both.
Does Lantern replace Cellebrite?
No. They solve different problems. Phone extraction tools get data off a device; Lantern analyzes warrant returns from providers such as Meta and recommends next investigative steps.
Which sources does Lantern support today?
Meta warrant returns: Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp (plus Messenger and Threads). Other providers are on the roadmap.
Can I use both together?
Yes. Many investigations include both a seized device and provider returns; Lantern focuses on the returns.
