I want to restore iPhone from iCloud backup, but whatever one I pick, error message “cannot restore from iCloud backup” always come up. Anybody ever had this experience? Any suggestion would be appreciated! Thanks!
To tell the truth, data loss is a very common problem and most of the iOS users suffer from this. It can happen because of multiple reasons. Like a failed iOS 12 update, accidental deletion, virus attack, iPhone liquid damaged, etc. It hurts and this is why Apple recommends to backup data regularly for safety issues. When you’re trying to get missing data from iCloud backup, you may think that a full restore is your only option but you’re wrong. Actually, you can reach for help with a professional and reliable third-party tool like iFonebox. It’s designed to help you recover almost all file types like contacts, notes, messages, photos, videos, vice memos, safari bookmarks, call records, reminders, calendar events, WeChat data, WhatsApp data and so on.
