Did you notice that I set up my phone with my last iCloud backup instead of just iCloud?

Will this make a difference on the phone? Should I reset the phone and set it up again? And I deleted my old backup, so would it be risky to reset the phone without any backup?

It usually doesn’t make a big difference whether you’re installing your iPhone with a full iCloud backup or directly with iCloud. Both methods ensure that your important data (such as photos, messages, apps and settings) will be transferred to your new device. The difference lies in how the data is restored:

– **iCloud backup:** When using an iCloud backup, a complete backup of your old device will be restored, including apps, app data and system-wide settings.

– **iCloud (direct):** This basically restores only your most important data (such as contacts, calendars, iMessages, photos from the iCloud photo media library) without complete app and system recovery. Your apps may need to be re downloaded from the App Store.

### Should you reset your phone?

As long as the phone works without major problems and all important data are available, it is usually not necessary to reset it. The difference between the two methods (Backup vs. iCloud) should not have any serious impact on daily use.

### Risk without backup

The biggest risk is that you have deleted your old iCloud backup. If you are resetting the device now and have no other backup, you could lose data that were not backed up in iCloud, such as messages or app data that are not synchronized with iCloud. So it would be safer to have a complete backup before you reset it if something goes wrong.

### Conclusion

– **If you are satisfied with the current state of the device**, there is no compelling reason to reset it.

– **If you want to have a higher security feeling,**you could try to make a new iCloud backup before resetting to avoid possible data loss.

It depends on how safe you feel without having a current backup. If you have not lost any critical data and no special problems occur, you can continue.

That’s it. Banking apps have to be completely re-established. For backups in the iCloud, access data and passwords are not stored. If you put backups locally and you’ll be sick.

Then I did everything right or not?

You did.

Don’t understand. You can transfer everything via icloud and also via a backup and if you are now re-entering/restoring the phone you should have a backup, so it will be restored anyway by the backup?

You can choose. You can set it up as a new device. For example, when you buy someone, that’s the only right thing. Or recover from a backup, e.g. if you reset it or bought a new one. It’s easy and fast, you automatically have all data, apps and settings again.

The backups are because you play them over to a new device. Otherwise, you spend hours reinstalling all apps and setting everything as usual. To delete the backup was not clever, do a new one and do not deactivate the automatic backups.

I don’t understand where the difference is for you.

I make local backups. I already mentioned the advantages.

Don’t. The iCloud is just a cloud. That’s what you put in there. Backups e.g.
