I'm such an idiot! Last week I accidentally reset my screen settings, so I jut connected my iPhone to my laptop to restore it from a backup. I glanced at the date of the last backup, but didn't look at the year. It turns out my last backup was exactly one year old and somehow the automatic backups were turned off when I got my current phone, both on my laptop and iCloud. I found out all of this AFTER I installed that backup from last year and now so much is gone. Conversations, loads of pictures.... PLEASE tell me there is some way to restore this! I already logged on to iCloud and it only has pictures from last week.
