Basically you just need to sign into iCloud and make sure it is active for the things you want. They should then download from iCloud to your device.


This document basically tells you how to sign into iCloud and set it up --> Sign in to iCloud on all your devices - Apple Support


Change which apps sync and store data with iCloud - Apple Support -

"When you turn on iCloud for an app, its information is safely stored in iCloud and automatically kept in sync across your devices. When you turn it off, the app will no longer connect with iCloud, so your data will exist only on your device. You can choose which apps on your device you'd like to use iCloud, or turn off iCloud completely."

The processes mentioned in the link in an earlier response is for transferring everything from a previous device using a backup. I'll note that you specifically said "iCloud" so my response to you was based on what you asked for. A backup also contains some things that are not part of synced data in iCloud.
