Xperia Companion for Mac
Mac UtilitiesWhen a Sony Xperia phone starts misbehaving, the tool Sony itself points people to is Xperia Companion. It is the desktop companion for Xperia phones and tablets, and on a Mac it gives you a calm, guided way to handle the jobs a phone cannot always fix on its own, like a stuck update or software that needs a full repair.

FAQs
Does Xperia Companion work with non Sony phones?
No. It is built only for Sony Xperia devices and will not manage phones from other brands.
Will a software repair erase my data?
A repair reinstalls the system and can erase the phone, so back up anything important first whenever the device still allows it.
Why does my newer Xperia not show full support?
Sony notes that phones from 2019 onward cannot use the backup, restore and transfer parts, though update and repair may still work.
