How do I undo an iCloud restore?

When I plugged my iPhone into my computer it restored/synced to an outdated iCloud backup. I seem to have lost recent contacts, text threads, photos, etc.... Can I undo this last restore?

iPhone 8 Plus

Are you sure it restored from an iCloud backup? Connecting you iPhone to a computer may have caused it to sync to iTunes if you had that option selected in iTunes on your computer.

If you have been making automatic backups using iCloud, try to restore a more recent backup from there:
