How To Download Backup Data From Icloud To Iphone EXCLUSIVE

How can I delete my phone's WhatsApp backup data from iCloud without deleting it from my iPhone as well? If I go to the phone's Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage > WhatsApp Messenger > Delete Data, I am warned "this will delete all data for this app stored on this iPhone and in iCloud".
I have the definitive answer at last: deleting the WhatsApp data in iCloud DOES NOT delete the data in the iPhone. I have no idea why the warning message claims that it does. I successfully purged my WA data from iCloud, which did not affect the messages in the phone.
Please forgive delay in answering.So far as I know, the information I posted back in March still stands: deleting the WhatsApp data in iCloud DOES NOT delete the data in the iPhone. I successfully purged my WA data from iCloud, which did not affect the messages in the phone. You can ignore the warning message regarding deleting data on the phone.
Does anybody know whether deleting the WhatsApp data in iCloud affects the iTunes backup procedure in any way? I too need to free up space from my iCloud, but I am wondering whether I could recover the full WhatsApp history from my desktop mac (presumably through a full-blown iPhone restore, though...).
The WhatsApp data will still remain or still be able to be available or seen within the app. It's just that, what you describe above, will delete the backup data so it (the WhatsApp data) will no longer be included in your backups. Does that make sense?
iCloud backs up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch automatically each day when it's connected to a power source and Wi-Fi, and your device's screen is locked. If you choose to keep another copy, you can back up to your computer. You should also regularly back up your iOS and iPadOS devices. If you have a backup, you can restore your data if your computer or device is damaged or lost.
As I see iCloud backup option in setting. I wonder how I should see it as setting a iCloud sync store. If I set iCloud backup, does it mean that when I back up my iPad, the things in dttg will be backup, so when I restore backup to new iPad or an existing one, all database and their original file will be there, still?
I will probably leave as is for now. But my databases are backup so many ways (including archived exports to offsite, BackBlaze and CrashPlan) that not having one iPhone or iPad backing up to iCloud feels OK.
I can see how much storage Whatsapp backup is using, but when I click on it, it just says info and "There are no documents in this folder" instead of "delete data from icloud. I can still see that option on my iphone X with ios 16.7.2.
Things that I've tried so far:
I restarted my device, deleted whatsapp icloud backup from iphone X and backed up again on iphone 13 pro. Still the same result, "There are no documents in this folder" when I check it from iphone 13 pro with ios 17.1.
After you transfer to your new iOS or iPadOS device, you might need to complete a few more steps to finish the process. If you have an Apple Watch, learn how to restore it from a backup and pair it with your new iPhone.
I am in the early stages of creating an app where I would like to save, sync and backup data. The app will not store any files just data in a database. It is going to be iOS 8 and up so I am able to use CloudKit. I did some research and still not clear on how Core Data, iCloud and CloudKit work together.
Can any one help me with this? Has anyone experienced something similar? The iCloud upload is still there and still isn't progressing at all (not sure what its trying to upload anyways since the files were all deleted). My computer is unusable and my files are all gone. I have a Time Machine backup from last week, but I will not have access to for almost 2 more weeks so if there's a way to recover my files sooner and kill this upload task, that would be amazing.
Hi guys i Think i found out where you can get all the data back (and i dont know why apple would do somthing like this as it is soo stupid) when you chosse to back up your files on icloud (Which i will never do again in the future) a sperate folder is made on you mac calles "icloud Drive (Archive)" it is located in Users > " your computer user name" > iCLoud Drive (Archive) - here you should find all your files that were just deleted ! (well at least i did)
iCloud backups are simple, automatic, and happen in the background, but there can be a limitation: the amount of iCloud storage you have available. By default, each iCloud account receives 5 GB of free storage space, and if you need more you can purchase it from Apple. The prices at the time of writing are as follows:
After the first backup has completed, tap your device at the bottom of the screen. You see here when the last backup was performed, how large it is, how much larger the next backup will be, and then you see a list of apps that want to back up data.
Configuring backups is straightforward. Select Backup all of the data on your iPhone to this Mac, and check Encrypt local backup to secure the backup file that macOS creates on your hard drive. Keep in mind if you forget this password, your backup will be inaccessible. The benefit of encrypting your backup is that account passwords, Wi-Fi settings, Health data, website history, and call history are backed up as well. This data is not backed up if encryption is off.
Restoring a backup from your Mac is considerably faster than restoring a backup from iCloud. Where a full restore from a Mac can be done in half an hour or less, an iCloud restore can take several hours or more. The actual restore time depends on the size of your backup, and in the case of an iCloud restore, your internet connection speed as well. Note that regardless of the size of the backup, it still takes a long time to render your device exactly as it was prior to restoring the backup. This is because apps are not backed up, and are redownloaded to the device after the backup is restored. This is the case with both iCloud and Finder backups.
Both the Finder and iCloud overwrite your existing backups and save only the latest data. On your Mac, you can create a backup, archive that backup, and then create another backup. You can create as many backups as you want so long as you have space on your hard drive.
You can also select exactly what data is synced to iCloud storage. Open to Settings > [your name] > iCloud on your phone and tap the Show All link under Apps Using iCloud section. Items like Calendars, Contacts, Health, Photos, Reminders, Wallet, and more can be enabled or disabled from here.
Tap the Manage Storage Account link to see a list of individual apps that are included in the backup. Each entry will say how much data it takes up, allowing you to see what is eating up the most storage. To free up space, tap an entry and set the data to be deleted from iCloud.
It's important to know how to delete old iCloud backups given how cluttered they can get over time. That goes even more so if you've owned an iPhone for a while. Filled with sensitive and private data, from messages from loved ones to emails with work, or passwords or banking details, that information would be a pain to lose, but it can get messy too.
Holding onto your iCloud backups means you get to access and restore your iPhone or iPad's data from just about anywhere. It's convenient for people with multiple devices too, especially those who rely on Accessibility settings since you don't have to set everything up again manually. So if you already own an iPhone and get a new MacBook Pro with M3 Max, you can add everything you need from your iCloud account to it, like messages, purchases and more.
Your iPhone is also the home of all your memories, photos, along with important data, work related emails, and so forth. Think about how you'd feel if you lost all that data. That's why it's so important to backup your Apple device regularly so that you won't miss out on anything. That doesn't just apply to iPhones either with all Apple devices needing regular backups.
iCloud is one of the easiest ways to make sure that all your data is automatically backed up every day. It means it's simple to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone when you're upgrading or switching between phones, but also, you've always got everything you need ready to retrieve. Even better, you rarely need to think about it as iCloud backs up your data in the background. Most of the time, it's a seamless and smooth process and can even help any out of storage errors you may come across.
However, those backups take up iCloud space and it can get pretty unwieldy. That's why it's important to follow the steps above to delete older backups that you no longer need. Chances are high that those older backups are long out of date and if you've just snapped up a new iPhone 15 Pro, you want it to have the newest data possible. It might seem like hassle at first but these steps mean you're only a few minutes away from more space.
Backing up all of the content on iOS devices is made very easy by iCloud. But restoring the iPhone from iCloud backup is not as easy as it should be with iCloud. It depends on whether we want to restore the backup to a new device or restore some of the content on an iPhone in use.
Please remember that restoring from iCloud backup can only be completed through the iOS Setup Assistant, which means it's only available during the iPhone setup process. So if you want to restore some content from iCloud backup, you need to erase your iPhone to set it up again. Follow the steps below to restore the iPhone from iCloud backup.
To back up your iPhone to a Mac, first connect it to your computer using a USB cable. Then open a Finder window and select your device from the left sidebar. Finally, check the box next to Back up all the data on your iPhone to this Mac, and click Back Up Now.
