Hi janicefrombel air,


Be aware it can take quite a while for it to restore.


If you need help restoring an iCloud backup


The restore process is taking a long time to finish.


The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete

So if you have several gigabytes to restore, it may be an overnight process.


You might try backing up and restoring with a computer. See the section "Use iTunes" in this article:


Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes


Best Regards,

Nubz
