iPhone stuck on ‘Preparing to Restore’ only
Up

I reset my iPhone and chose to restore from an iCloud backup. Now, it’s been stuck on the “Preparing to Restore” screen for hours and not progressing. My Wi-Fi is stable, and the backup was created just a day before. I’m using an iPhone 13 with iOS 17.5. Has anyone faced this, and how can I fix it without losing my data?

Sometimes, the issue is caused by temporary iCloud server delays, so waiting a bit can help. If it’s stuck for hours, try restarting your device and initiating the restore again. Also, Go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and check if the backup is available and intact. If nothing works, you can set up the iPhone as new and use third-party iPhone data recovery tools to extract and recover lost data.
