How to easily back up iPhone 7? How to restore data from iCloud

Have you received your iPhone 7? I want to start using a new iPhone right away, but if I want to change the model and transfer data such as contacts of the old iPhone to the newly bought iPhone 7, a little work is required. It's about backing up your iPhone and restoring it to your iPhone 7.

If each iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, backup and restore using iCloud is easy. The advantage of this is that you can move the environment even if you don't have a computer at hand.

Of course, if you have a computer, you can back up and restore using iTunes, but below, I will explain how to migrate the environment using the Wi-Fi network with iCloud. For the backup procedure with iTunes, refer to the iTunes item of Apple's official "How to back up iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch", and for the restore method, refer to "Restoring iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from backup".

Also, LINE save and restore is as important as iPhone backup and restore, but the official blog shows how to back up your talk history using iCloud. Let's do that in advance.

Create a backup of your old iPhone on iCloud

When your iPhone is connected to a power source and connected to Wi-Fi, it will make regular backups on iCloud. However, it is not always up to date, so make a backup at this stage.

Tap "Settings"-> "iCloud"-> "Backup"-> "Create Backup Now". Backup takes some time. Also, if photos, videos, etc. are included in the backup target, please be aware that iCloud's free 5GB may not be enough to back up.

In that case, you can save space by selecting the device you are currently using from "Settings" → "iCloud" → "Capacity" → "Manage Storage" and turning off "Photo Library" from the data to be backed up. However, if you make this setting, you will not be able to save / restore your photos, so you will need to back up your photos by some other means, such as Google Photo.

If you have a computer, you can use iTunes to back up and restore it. If you have a lot of data, that is also recommended.

Recover iPhone 7 from iCloud backup

Next, let's restore the data to the purchased iPhone 7. In addition, the procedure at this time assumes an iPhone that is turned on for the first time. If you have already set up your iPhone 7, you will need to reset your iPhone once.

Also, this time it is the procedure on the iPhone 7 that I got, and the screen and procedure may differ depending on the environment. Please note that point.

After starting iPhone 7, proceed with various settings such as language and Wi-Fi. Go to the "Apps and Data" screen and select "Restore from iCloud Backup". Enter your Apple ID to sign in to iCloud and accept the terms of use.

When the "Choose Backup" screen appears, select the backup you want to restore. It is OK if you select the latest backup of the model that created the backup.

Maybe you'll be asked to install the latest iOS?

Depending on the environment you backed up, you may be asked to download the latest version of iOS. When this screen is displayed, follow the instructions on the screen to update iOS.

The iPhone 7 just shipped is iOS 10.0.0. On the other hand, the latest iOS released is 10.0.1. If you have updated your old iPhone to the latest iOS, you will probably need to update.

In my environment, the initial settings started when the update was completed. As we will see later, iPhone 7 has new settings such as home button click settings. I was happy with such a new setting item, and when I proceeded with the initial setting, the iPhone was set up without being restored just after the update was completed.

I wish I could update and restore at the same time ...!

Then, swallow some complaints, reset the iPhone and try the restore again.

To reset your iPhone, go to "Settings"-> "General"-> "Reset"-> "Erase all content and settings".

Second lap! Try restoring again when you have the latest iOS!

Reset your iPhone and try to recover again. Follow the instructions on the screen to proceed with the initial settings. If you have an activation lock, you can enter your Apple ID.

Go through the steps and select "Restore from iCloud Backup" in the same way to sign in to iCloud.

The rest of the procedure is almost the same as the first lap. Select the backup you want to restore and follow the on-screen instructions to start the restore.

Finally the restoration is completed! Thank you for your support!

Let's leave it alone during the restoration. Depending on the amount of data, it can take a long time, so it is best to keep it connected to a power source.

Proceed with the initial settings. I think that it was displayed even on the first lap, but in iPhone 7, there is a click setting of the home button as a new setting item. You can change it later, but set the sensing accuracy to suit you.

If you proceed to this point, you're done. Thank you for your hard work! The latest version of the app will be downloaded from the App Store. Please stay connected to Wi-Fi for a while.

It's been a long time, but the procedure is complete. Basically, if you know your Apple ID and password, you can proceed with the settings by following the instructions on the screen. Please note that a Wi-Fi environment is required. Also, if you can't save to iCloud, do you need to reduce the number of backup targets?

Please use this weekend to move to the environment and do your best. Have a nice iPhone life.
