Remember, when restoring an iPhone from iCloud, you need to factory reset your device. This will erase all your files saved on your phone after the last backup. Therefore, ensure you have backed up all important files.
Step 1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. At the top of the Settings menu, you'll see your Apple ID profile. Tap on it.
Step 2. Scroll down and tap on iCloud. In the iCloud settings, select iCloud Backup.
Step 3. Toggle the iCloud Backup switch to the On position. When enabled, your iPhone will automatically back up to iCloud when it is connected to Wi-Fi, locked, and plugged into a power source.
Step 1. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Confirm your decision by entering your passcode.
Step 2. After your iPhone restarts, follow the on-screen instructions until you reach the Apps & Data screen. Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
Step 3. Enter your Apple ID and password associated with the iCloud backup you want to restore from.
Step 4. Select the desired backup from the list of available backups. Be sure to choose the one that contains the data you want to restore.
