Backup??

I broke my old phone and I didnt back it up and I ordered a new phone to use. I am using a backup phone right now is there anyway to recover my icloud account with all my data and pictures even though I cant get onto my broken phone to save everything?

Anything that you had set to sync via iCloud should sync back when you sign into iCloud on the new device. So things like calendars, contacts, notes etc that sync via iCloud should sync back. If you used iCloud photos on the old phone, those should also sync back when you enable it on the new device.


But without an iCloud or iTunes backup to restore from, you’re going to lose other app data. And if you did not use iCloud photo and did not transfer your photos somewhere for safekeeping, you’re going to lose those too.
