Disabled iPhone

Hello


I use iphone 6S and iphone XS Max with the same Apple ID.

My XS Max got disabled sitting in my pocket and it has not been backed up since a year due to lack of storage, but the iCloud backup option is ON though. I bought iCloud storage now. Will the XS Max backup automatically?

Is there any other solution I can use to not lose data when I erase it all? Please help!

You can reset your passcode by following the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ How to reset your passcode on a disabled iPhone. You will need a computer for this task and all your data on your iPhone will be wiped clean in the process.


 If you have a backup created then you can ➔ Restore Your iPhone from that backup file. If you do not have a backup file created then you will lose all your data on the iPhone.


 If Photos, Messages and Contacts are synced to iCloud then you will be able to retrieve them after setting up iCloud on your iPhone after you reset the passcode and sign into iCloud.
