If you accidentally uninstall apps on your iPhone or iPad, all the data related to them will be erased. Reinstalling the apps is easy, but it will be tricky to get the erased data back. In this article, we will show you how to restore apps from iCloud to iPhone/iPad.

Method 1. Restore Apps from iCloud Backup

If you want to restore all apps from iCloud to iPhone or iPad, and you have an iCloud backup, you can use this method to restore apps from an iCloud backup. However, you should always know that to restore all apps means erase all data after the iCloud backup creation date, and restore your iPhone to the status of that date, not only the apps, but also your iPhone settings and other data. So if that is exactly what you want, please follow the steps:

Step 1. Go to the Settings app on your device. Then, scroll down and tap General.

Step 2. Scroll down to the very bottom of the General screen, and then tap Transfer or Reset iPhone. Confirm erasing iPhone and tap Erase All Content and Settings.

Step 3. Follow the on-screen guide and reset your iPhone. When it shows the Apps & Data screen, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.

Step 4. All the apps will be restored to your iPhone from iCloud. It usually takes 1-10 minutes according to the backup size.

Method 2. Restore Apps from iCloud on App Store

If you turned on iCloud sync, you can see the deleted apps list on the App Store and reinstall them. This method allows you to restore an app or several apps without erasing the current iPhone without a backup. However, it has drawbacks: the deleted app data can't be restored.

If you only want to restore an app from iCloud without erasing the device, you can use this method first. It is easy to operate, so it won't take a long time. Just follow the steps below. After that, try using an iPhone data recovery tool to restore iPhone app data.

Step 1. Open the App Store on your iPhone/iPad.

Step 2. Tap the profile button at the top. And then choose Apps in the middle of the screen.

Step 3. Beside the All tab, you can see the Not on this iPhone tab. That means they are the apps that you once installed. Find the app you want to restore and re-download it. Now, you can use the iPhone recovery software we mentioned to restore the app's data.

Method 3. Restore an App from iCloud Backup Separately

Do you wonder how to restore an app from iCloud backup separately? Method 1 restores the apps and their data, but you need to erase the current data. Method 2 can restore apps from iCloud individually, but can't restore the app data. Fortunately, method 3 is the perfect solution.

It allows you to restore apps from iCloud backups and restore the app data, and it doesn't erase your device, but only restores the apps you want to restore. That is Apeaksoft iPhone Data Recovery software. See its main features
