Recover data from lost phone
My iPhone 11 was lost/stolen. I’ve activated the number into an iPhone 7 which I was previously using. How do I recover contacts, messages, apps, etc into this one?

That depends on several factors:
Ideally, all 4 of these together will restore everything.
Next, beware of a common phishing scam: You may get a text or email from “Apple” or “Apple Security” (or sometimes “Police”) saying your phone has been found and to click on a link to see its location. This is NEVER from Apple or from law enforcement; it is from the thief or fence to steal your Apple ID and identity. Delete any such message without responding to it. Apple never gets involved in lost or stolen devices.

If you used iCloud on your old iPhone then you can use the Apple ID you used there to log in to your new iPhone. Contacts, calendar, photos, etc. will then be automatically downloaded to your device.
The only way is: from a recent backup you created before your iPhone 11 had been stolen.
No way to recover data/apps/media remotely, sorry.
