iCloud data recovery after phone upgrade
My employer has just upgraded my iPhone 5S to an iPhone 8. I had no control of the handover process so although I had an iCloud backup of the old device, this wasn't used when setting up the new phone.
When I now look at iCloud.com, the old device and it's backups no longer seem to appear, however when I look at the new iPhone 8, I can see the backup from the old iPhone 5S.
A couple of questions:
Why can I see the iPhone 5S backup on the new iPhone 8 but not on iCloud?
Is there any way of recovering data (particularly contacts, messages, WhatsApp, wallet) from the 5S backup shown on the 8 without a full wipe of the iPhone 8 which will incur the wrath of the IT police...
