But don't worry, here are still three methods that you can take advantage of to access your iCloud backup. The guidance below will show you how to do that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\" >\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#part1\">Part 1.

How to Access iCloud Backup via iCloud.com<\/h2>\n<p><P>The first way to <strong>access iCloud backup<\/strong> is to login icloud.com. It is actually iCloud sync, but somehow it could be considered as part of iCloud backup, since it doesn't include anything on your iPhone to iCloud.com. iCloud.com only backs up data including Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Photos, iCloud Drive, Notes, Reminders, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc. And this requires you to enable iCloud sync on your iPhone to sync your data from iPhone to iCloud before you could view corresponding data on iCloud.com. Otherwise, you will get an iCloud backup but no related content (the one you haven't enabled for iCloud backup on your iPhone) on iCloud.com. To enable iCloud backup on iPhone, you need to:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"pl40\">\n<li>Turn on iCloud backup: on iOS 10.3 or later, go to Settings &gt; [your name] &gt; iCloud &gt;\u00a0iCloud Backup, slide the iCloud Backup to green; on iOS 10.2 or earlier, Settings &gt; iCloud &gt; iCloud Backup, slide the iCloud Backup to green. <\/li>\n<li>Make sure your device remains at least 50% power, or simply connect your device to a power source. <\/li>\n<li> Connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p> Once you've synced your iPhone data to iCloud, you could view part iCloud backup files on iCloud.com. The following steps will show you how to access iCloud backup via iCloud.com.<\/p>\n<p><P>Step 1. On your computer, sign in the website (https:\/\/www.icloud.com\/) with your apple ID user name and password.<\/p>\n<p><P>Step 2. All types of backup files would be list on the website, you are able to click to access certain data.<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/visit-icloud.com_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img_big lazyload\" title=\"Access iCloud Backup via iCloud\" alt=\"Access iCloud Backup via iCloud\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/visit-icloud.com_.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> After logging in, you'll find that you can only check parts of data, including: contacts, mail, calendar, notes, reminders, Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents. As for other files and settings, like pictures, wall paper, recorded videos, apps, text messages, MMS messages, iMessage, ringtones, visual voicemail, and more, Apple doesn't allow you to access them in iCloud.com.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\">Part 2. How to Access iCloud Backup stored in iCloud on iOS Device, Mac or PC<\/h2>\n<p><P>According to Apple, if you use iCloud Backup, you won't actually find a list of your iCloud backups on iCloud.com. But you can find your iCloud backups on your iOS device, Mac and Windows computer. Below are the procedures for you on how to access to iCloud backups on your iOS device, Mac, or PC:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Access iCloud backup on iOS device<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><P>On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 10.3 or later, go to Settings &gt; [your name] &gt; iCloud &gt; iCloud Storage\u00a0&gt; Manage Storage. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings &gt; iCloud &gt; Storage &gt; Manage Storage. There you could see your iCloud backups. You could even click each backup to view detailed information and decide which data to back up. <\/p>\n<p><a onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/access-to-icloud-backup-on-ios.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img_big lazyload\" title=\"access to icloud backup on ios\" alt=\"access to icloud backup on ios\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/access-to-icloud-backup-on-ios.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.
