ICLOUD APP ICONS NOT SHOWING EVEN THOUGH BACKED UP FROM IPHONE

I have all my apps backing up to ICloud, but only a few of them show up on the ICloud page, and are not available to "edit" onto my homepage from the icon menu. Such as "Contacts." Therefore there appears to be no way to access the data. I have an IPad and Iphone both backing up every day; all settings are the same.

iPad Pro (6th generation)

Hello eileen2554,


If content is missing from your device after restoring from an iCloud backup, please check out the information in this link, which outlines what to do, and may help: About missing information after you restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud Backup


About your apps, music, movies, and TV shows

iCloud Backup includes information about your purchase history from the Apple Music app, Apple TV app, Apple Books app, Apple Podcasts app, and the App Store. After you restore from iCloud Backup, your purchased media automatically downloads again from Apple services. Availability of redownloads varies by country or region. Previous purchases may be unavailable when they've been refunded or aren't available in the store anymore. Some previously purchased movies may not be available for redownload from Apple TV.

For some third-party apps, you may need to download data from the app provider again.

If you used iTunes Match to download previously matched or uploaded songs, albums, or playlists to your device, sync your device on a computer that has your content to recover media that wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store or isn't available through iTunes Match.

To recover content purchased with a different Apple ID, sign in with the Apple ID associated with that purchase.


Thanks!
