I tried to do a reset and lost everything for a whole year . Pics , texts , my kiddos baseball games, texts from my mom who passed away . Apparently my iCloud wasn’t backed up for the last year. Any idea how to get it all back ?
Thank you
iPhone 12, iOS 15
Unfortunately if it wasn't backed up, it's gone. If you have a Google account, check to see if your pictures were backed up there. If AT&T is your carrier, they will back up your pictures, other carriers may do this as well.

Troubleshooting Lost Photos:
Loss of data is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account. So, if the following does not work, then they are gone. That's just the way it is :(
Four Tactics to Try:
A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support
B. Check iCloud Directly:
See if they reside in iCloud Photos. Log in here: https://www.icloud.com/photos
C. Use a Time Machine Backup:
Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.
D. Where Else to Check:
Deleted all my stuff to June of last year trying to do a recover .
