If you have bought a new iPhone and want to transfer all the data from the old iPhone, then you do not need to work hard. Apple has provided several easy methods for its users, through which photos, contacts, messages, apps and settings can be transferred in minutes. But the question is how to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone.
Transfer data to iPhone using Quick Start
If both your old and new iPhone are on iOS 12.4 or newer, you can use Quick Start. This is Apple’s easiest feature that transfers data even without an iCloud backup.
Steps to transfer data using Quick Start
- Keep both iPhones nearby and turn on the new iPhone.
- The “Quick Start” option will appear on the screen of the new iPhone.
- Verify Apple ID on the screen of the old iPhone.
- You will now be asked to scan the pattern on the new iPhone.
- Follow the instructions on the screen and connect to a Wi-Fi connection.
- The data transfer process will begin and complete in a few minutes.
This method is best for those who want to transfer data directly without iCloud or a computer.
Transfer data from iCloud backup
If you already have an iCloud backup, you can easily transfer data to your new iPhone.
Steps to transfer data from iCloud backup:
- Go to the old iPhone and go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Backup.
- Choose the “Back Up Now” option and wait for the backup to complete.
- Now turn on the new iPhone and start the setup process.
- When the “Apps & Data” screen appears, choose “Restore from iCloud Backup”.
- Log in to your Apple ID and choose the latest backup.
- Let the backup download and all data will be transferred in a few moments.
If you have a good Wi-Fi connection and enough iCloud storage space, this method will be very easy and fast.
