Suppose somehow you have deleted the contacts or any file which is very important. Apple had enabled a new feature for iCloud users. The feature enables the restoration of deleted files, contacts, calendars and reminders stored your iCloud account. Let us what is that feature and how to enable though this article.
Steps to restore iCloud files contacts, calendars and reminders :
- The process is straight but you can only be accomplished by using the favourite browser and visiting iCloud.com.
- Initially you have to log in to your iCloud account,
- Once you log in to you account, click on the Settings icon which looks identical to that found on iOS and OS X.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and navigate Advanced section which is located in the bottom-left corner of the Settings page. Click on the proper link for the file type you need to restore to continue.
- To restore a file, you have to check the small box located next to the file and then click on the Restore Filebutton that appears. iCloud will keep a copy of any deleted files for 30 days, after which you’ll no longer have to ability to restore it.
The process for restoring contacts, calendars or reminders works a bit differently. Instead of giving you a list of items stored within each respective category, iCloud will restore your entire contacts list from an older backup. Before it does that, however, it will create a new archive of your contacts in case you change your mind.
Where as restoring your calendars and reminders, iCloud will once again create a new archive beforehand. And as you can see above, if any of your calendars or reminders lists are shared, you’ll need to re-share them after restoration is complete.
