Thanks to the iOS iOS backup function, you can easily recover all your personal data on a new iPhone. Or on your current model, if you have reset it to give it a facelift!

You can never say it enough, it is essential to save the content of your iPhone. This is the only way of being able to certainly recover all your data if you lose it, if you break it, if you have it stolen or, quite simply, if you decide to replace your aging iPhone with a brand new model! In the latter case, do not forget to completely erase the content of your old iPhone before giving it or selling it (see our article completely erase an iPhone).

Is iCloud backup activated?

Saving your iPhone is imperative and it must work for sure. Fortunately, Apple facilitates things well by offering the backup iCloud, a function that is even activated by default. To prevent any disaster, then check above all that the backup is working properly.

Go to the Settings of your iPhone and type on your name At the top of the screen, to display everything related to your Apple account and therefore the iCloud functions.
Then type, precisely, on the line iCloud and scroll until you can press ICloud backup.
Make sure the iCloud backup switch is well activated (in green, in principle).
If at least one backup has already been made, the operation date and time of the operation are indicated at the bottom of this screen. And you can also type on any time Save now To start a backup.

What is exactly saved by iCloud backup?

ICloud backup is the easiest and safest way to never lose your data if it ever happens to your iPhone or your iPad. For this, it uses the online personal storage space linked to your Apple account.

ICloud backup is responsible for automatically keep in this personal space:

Recall that the creation of an Apple account gives you a space of 5 GB of online storage for free. This space is likely to be sufficient if you only use it to save your iPhone.

On the other hand, you may feel cramped if you save an iPhone and an iPad connected to the same account, which suddenly share the same space. And the 5 GB will also quickly become insufficient if you use the iCloud photo library.

You will then have to consider switching to a paid subscription, the first level of which ensures 50 GB of storage for 1 euro per month.

Is iCloud backup really automatic?

Nothing beats iCloud backup to ensure data protection stored on your iPhone. Especially since this function is provided to be fully automatic when all the following conditions are met:

In fact, iCloud backup is designed to be used every night: you connect your iPhone before going to bed, and you are sure that the backup was made the next morning.

Start an completely empty iPhone

That you release a whole New iPhone in its box or that it has previously completely reset to zero, the first stages of starting are the same:

Logo display.
Display of the message Bonjour in a large number of languages.
Choice of language.
Choice of the region.

Pass the quick start step

The screen of Quick start is particularly useful if you go from one iPhone to another and that you are in possession of the two. You just need to physically approach the two devices from each other so that they detect and that the new can directly recover all your information from the old one. This is obviously not a procedure that you can follow when you want to recover your data on an iPhone that you have just reset to zero.

To follow the more universal restoration procedure from an iCloud backup, choose Manually configure.

Connect the iPhone to the Internet before starting catering

It is easy to understand that an iPhone will not be able to recover the data previously saved via the iCloud backup function that on condition that it is connected to the Internet.

This is why, after having passed the first steps of the first start (see above), a screen asks you to choose the Wi-Fi network to connect. Note that catering can also be carried out via your 4G mobile connection, but beware of your package!

Once connected, your iPhone asks you to record a fingerprint or your face, depending on the model you hold in your hands.
You will then have to create a locking code, by default 6 -digit.

Launch the iPhone restoration procedure

Once you have passed the first stages of starting a brand new iPhone, or an iPhone that has just been completely reset (see above), the screen Apps and data You ask if and how you want to transfer data to the iPhone you have in hand.

Choose Restore from iCloudthe option at the top of the list of proposals.
In the next screen, indicate The identifier of your Apple account. The same, of course, as the one used to save your data (see above).
Then enter The password of this account.
Apple accounts are always protected by a second authentication, that is to say a single-use code, as is often the case when you pay something on the Internet, for example.
If you have another Apple device (Mac, iPad or another iPhone) connected to the same Apple account, you will receive a notification in the middle of its screen.
If the iPhone was your only device connected to your Apple account, you can indicate that you have not received a code and ask another to receive by SMS, to the telephone number connected to this account. Note that at this stage, your SIM card is activated, so you can receive SMS on the iPhone that you are reinstalling.
Once connected to your account, accept the conditions of use.
After a few seconds, a message asks you to enter Locking code of your old iPhone. This is the last step to verify that you were the data owner that you are about to recover. And an excellent safety measure!

Choose the right backup to restore on the iPhone

To recover on a new iPhone the data saved from an old iPhone, you must first connect to your Apple/iCloud account (see above).

Once this is done, a screen offers you the different backups available. The first always corresponds to the most recent version of the backup made on a device of the same type (iPhone backup for an iPhone, iPad backup for an iPad). This is the section Backup of this iPhone.
You can also go back in time if you prefer to find the condition of your iPhone before installing certain applications for example. Then type on the area Other backups And see the list of backup dates offered to you. Impossible to provide to which date you can go up, it is the backup system that decides, in particular according to the storage space available to it.

Finalize the restoration of iPhone data

Once you have chosen the backup to restore on your iPhone, you must follow the latest usual start -up steps for your iPhone:

Activate location services, to allow the system and applications to use the GPS chip.
Activate the Apple Pay function if you wish, to be able to pay without contact with your iPhone in the stores that allow it.
Activate SIRI if you want to use the Apple voice assistant.
Accept or not to share anonymous analysis data of your iPhone with Apple. The following screen will ask you to do the same with the developers of the applications you use, if you wish.

The steps to pass to recover all your data from your iPhone from a ICloud backup There are many, there are undeniable. But once you have spent them all, it’s up to the iPhone to work!

Wait until the iPhone downloads all your data.
Once the iPhone has restarted, enter your locking code.
Your iPhone is almost ready. You will have to confirm certain passwords. Note that you can start using your iPhone, even if the restoration is not completely over. Time, for example, that some applications end up reinstalling themselves automatically.
