Backup and Restore

Hi. I want to factory reset my phone. I have backed up my data on iCloud. Is my phone data retrieved correctly? Because many people say back up your iPhone data to a computer. Which method do you suggest? iCloud backup or computer backup? Thanks

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14

You should fully understand what is backed up from your device and the differences between the two options. Some information is synchronized from the cloud if you already have iCloud enabled for some items. Others may redownload. Personally, I back up to my Mac. But the choice is yours.
