How is it damaged? How is this damage getting in your way?


Does it power on? If so, enable iCloud items in Settings.


Sync Through iCloud:

Were items enabled in iCloud on your iPhone? IF so, enable all items on your new iPhone, and see if the data shows up. If your iPhone has items synced with iCloud on them, then they should pop right up.

Enabling iCloud Items on an iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: items (so that it is green)


B. Check iCloud, Directly:

You can check iCloud, using a Web browser on another device, and see if you can access them that way. For instance, go here for Photoshttps://www.icloud.com/photos
