Part 2: Restore lost data from backup file

If you have backed up your iPhone or iPad with iTunes or iCloud before, you can restore lost data on your device in a more traditional way, that is from iTunes or iCloud backup.

Option 1: Retreive lost data from iTunes backup

Make sure that you have installed the latest version of iTunes on your computer. 

1. Connect your iPhone/iPad to computer and launch iTunes.

2. Tap on your iPhone icon, then click on "Restore iPhone".

3. Choose the latest backup and click "Restore".

Option 2: Restore lost data from iCloud backup

Open "Settings" app and tap "General">"Reset">"Erase All Content and Settings">"Erase iPhone". Follow the onscreen prompt and choose "Restore from iCloud Backup", then select the latest backup. The lost data will be restored on your iPhone/iPad.

Comparison: Restoring from iTunes or iCloud backup will ask you to wipe all data on your iPhone/iPad and the data on your device will be replaced by the backup file. You are not allowed to preview the data before recovery. If you don't want to restore all the data in the backup, you can combine it with Jihosoft iPhone Data Recovery to extract data from the backup file and selectively recover lost data on your device.

Note : The iOS 10 will be available for iPhone 5 and higher, iPad mini 2 and higher, iPad 4 and subsequent iPad Air and iPad Pro models, and iPod touch 6th gen onwards.
