    Hello there, AppleTeam6.

     

    The following Knowledge Base article goes over how to restore your iOS device from iCloud:

     

    iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud

    Set up a new device from an iCloud backup

    1. Turn on your iOS device.

    2. In the Setup Assistant, proceed to “Set up your device,” tap Restore from a Backup, then sign in to iCloud.

    3. Proceed to “Choose backup,” then choose from a list of available backups in iCloud.

    After using an iCloud backup to restore or set up a device:

    • Your settings and accounts are restored from the iCloud backup you chose. Your device restarts and begins downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content. If your device can’t download the version of an app that was backed up, it downloads the latest version.

      Your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store based on iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.

    • You may be asked to enter passwords for iTunes, App Store, and iBooks Store accounts to restore purchased items.

    • Progress bars appear below Home screen icons for apps being downloaded.

      To make an app a priority for downloading, tap its icon.

    To check if the information on your device is fully restored, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

     

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Cheers,

    Pedro.
