Verizon Cloud (Apple)
Restore Content

After a master reset or switching to a new device, or if content is missing, use this process to download your backed-up photos and videos from the Verizon Cloud app back onto your Apple® iPhone® or iPad®.

Before you begin

If changing to a new device, ensure the content from the old device is backed up before activating the new device. For more info, refer to Verizon Cloud - Manage Settings.
Contacts are automatically updated during the setup process.
Unless an iPad has its own 10-digit mobile number, it shares a Verizon Cloud account with another device.
