How To Transfer Data From Iphone To Iphone

With every iOS update, Apple pushes out significant improvements that make iPhone data migration a cakewalk. It also ensures that all your contacts, settings, messages, photos, apps, etc. are seamlessly and safely transferred to your new device.  There are 4 ways to move your data from an old iPhone to the new one: 

How to transfer data from old iPhone to new iPhone using Quick Start

Now, your new iPhone will take some time to load the data. As it’s a long process, keep both iPhones connected to the power outlet. Once done, it will reboot normally with all the data from your old device.

How to transfer data from an iCloud backup to new iPhone

The iCloud backup is another simple way to transfer your data from your old iPhone to your new one. If you transfer everything directly from your old iPhone, you must wait for the transfer to complete before you can start using them. Therefore, transfer everything using your iCloud backup to access your new iPhone immediately. All apps and data will be downloaded in the background while you use your new iPhone.

Backup your old iPhone to iCloud

Your iPhone will automatically back up when locked, charging, and connected to Wi-Fi. If you prefer doing it manually, tap Back Up Now. However, all your iPhone data may exceed the free iCloud storage space. In this case, you may use the Prepare for New iPhone feature. It offers free iCloud storage space for 21 days for smooth iPhone-to-iPhone data transfer.

Restore the iCloud backup to your new iPhone

Once you’ve backed up your old iPhone’s data, you can quickly transfer everything to your new iPhone using iCloud during the setup process. Just follow the instructions below. Now, your iPhone will restore the backup from iCloud. You will see how much time this process may take.

How to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone using AirDrop

If you don’t want to back up your personal information, you may use AirDrop to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone without iCloud. It is a built-in Apple device feature that works without the internet or a USB cable. You can transfer everything, including photos, videos, documents, websites, contacts, messages, mail, music, etc. Note: Ensure both your iPhones are powered on and have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi activated. It’s the best option if you prefer to transfer specific data from your old iPhone to the new one.

How to transfer your data to your new iPhone using Mac

You may back up your device by connecting your old iPhone to your Mac. After that, you may swap out your old iPhone for the new one and follow the instructions below. Now, your iPhone will download all apps, music, etc., over Wi-Fi. It’ll take time, depending on your internet speed and the size of your library. If you already set up your new iPhone and want to transfer everything from your old iPhone, you may restore the backup on your Mac. Note: Disable the Find My feature on your iPhone before you start the restore process. In my opinion, this is the best, fastest, and most reliable method of moving data from an old iPhone to a new iPhone.

Tips for transferring old iPhone to new iPhone

Below are some suggestions to help you move your data from an old iPhone to a new one.

Ensure that your old and new iPhones are running the latest version of iOS. Enter the same Apple ID on your new iPhone to smoothly transfer your apps and data. If necessary, you can also manually download apps from the App Store. Once the transfer is complete, thoroughly check your new iPhone to ensure all your data, contacts, photos, messages, and settings have transferred correctly. If anything is missing or not functioning as expected, restore it from the backup again. Remember to keep both iPhones connected to a power source throughout the transfer process to avoid disruptions. Make sure you unpair it from the old iPhone. Unpairing will automatically back up your watch. This makes it easy to restore after you pair it with the new iPhone.
