I accidentally deleted my Health and Activity data and want to restore that data as it was two days ago. Assuming my iPhone is backed up daily to iCloud (which I understand is how the backup process is supposed to work), how do I restore to that specific backup from two days ago? When I go through the Erase-Restore process, the only backup available is from 4 months ago.
Thanks in advance!
iPhone X, iOS 13
is this how you were backing up to icloud? Read here How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
in your original post you assumed it was backing up to icloud but based of your information you weren't.
Thanks for the quick reply, razmee209! Any idea as to why the backup from two days ago is not available (or any other daily backup since 4 mos. ago, for that matter)? I make daily (sometimes more frequently) database backups for work purposes so I can have a restore point in case things go awry. Those daily backups are eventually deleted in favor of a weekly, then monthly backups. Maybe these iOS/iCloud backups don't work that way?
IF that is the case then you should see the most up to date backup after the restore but you don't.
Before you restored your phone, did you go to that settings above to actually check the last time it backed up to icoud?
if it is only showing a backup from 4 months ago then that is your only backup option.
Yes, my iPhone was (and continues to be) set to automatic backup (Settings > <name> > iCloud > iCloud Backup). Sorry for not making that clear in my original post.
Yes - it stated "Friday, April 10...". I did not make note of the timestamp.
I will contact support directly. Again, thanks for your replies and trying to help me out!
