I lost my iPhone 8 Plus over a month ago. I replaced it today with an Iphone 11. I can not get my contacts back. Any help?

How can I recover my contacts or texts from Icloud to my Iphone 11?



iPhone 11, iOS 15

If you turn on iCloud, you get 5 GB of free iCloud storage. Information such as contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, reminders, voice memos are stored in iCloud.

You must use the same Apple ID.

 

If you have a back up to iCloud, see this Apple article: What does iCloud back up?
