Help! I need to make sure all my information on my phone is back up as I just ran over the phone

iPhone 12 Pro


I purchased it from the Apple website.

I left it on the roof of my car, drove away.

I went back to the scene of the crime and found the phone (bright side).

Unfortunately, someone had run over it (not so bright side).

Damage:

  • smashed screen cover
  • half of the screen is black w/colors shooting out; the other half appears normal (apps visible)

Question:

I need to make sure all my photos and contacts are stored/saved. Is there a way to confirm?
