How to Restore iPhone with a Previous iTunes Backup

iTunes allows us to backup iPhone and transfer data between devices. An iTunes backup file contains what’s currently on your iPhone, including text messages, iMessages, photos, videos, contacts, call history, FaceTime history, voice notes, calendar events, music, Touch ID settings, Apple Pay information and settings, and various types of app data.

How to Restore An iTunes Backup 

If you have an iPhone or iPad backup in iTunes, you can restore your iPhone to it when needed. Please note that the backup data will replace your current data. So make sure that any new photos or files created from the date of the backup onwards are saved separately.

1. Start iTunes and connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer using a USB cable.
2. Go to File > Devices > Restore from backup. If you have multiple backups, choose the backup you want to retrieve from the drop-down menu, and click Restore. You can also click on the device icon, go to summary window, and click on Restore Backup.
3. Restore iTunes backup. Wait until the data is transferred to your device.
