14. Once the restore process is complete, your device will restart, and you will be able to access your game progress and other data from the iCloud backup.
Please note that not all games support iCloud backup and restore. It’s important to check if your specific game has iCloud integration for saving game progress. Additionally, ensure that you have regularly backed up your game progress to iCloud before attempting to restore it.
In my own experience, I have restored game progress from iCloud multiple times when switching to a new iPhone or iPad. It has always been a straightforward process, as long as I had a recent iCloud backup available. Restoring game progress from iCloud has saved me from losing hours of gameplay and allowed me to continue where I left off seamlessly.
Remember to maintain regular backups of your device and game progress to iCloud to ensure that you always have a recent backup to restore from.
