Q: Can i restore an iCloud backup without resetting my phone

I accidentally deleted the contacts of my phone which were saved in iCloud and I have an iCloud backup from the day before I deleted them. Can I somehow restore this backup without resetting my phone so i don`t lose any more data ?

    Not only you can not, you also during restore from backup have to follow very specific procedure. If you don't follow you will get your contacts back, but only for one minute and then you phone will delete them once connected to icloud sync and received newer information with deleted already contacts.

    Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.

     

    I also recommend to change step number 4 and instead of turning off router - turn on airplane mode on the phone. Accordingly step that says to turn on router

    needs to be changed to turn off airplane mode.
