Knowing how to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone is very important if you have one of Apple\u2019s phones. Whether you have just gotten your hands on a brand new iPhone 14 Pro, or you\u2019ve inherited an older model, you will need to know how to move all your existing data from your old device to your new device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes all apps, settings and other precious files saved on your device or in the cloud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, transferring data from iPhone to iPhone is really easy, as Apple has put a lot of thought into making it simple. This kind of user experience is one of the reasons why people regularly consider iPhones to be among some of the best phones around. There are also numerous ways to go about it, including wirelessly by using iCloud or wired using a computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of these methods, especially wireless ones, take quite a bit of time. Those that require a connection usually help you transfer files faster. Below, we’ll describe in detail all the ways to move files from one iPhone to another, as well as provide instructions for the easiest way to transfer files in a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before you start, though, you will want to make sure you have backed up your iPhone and that you have also updated it to the latest version of iOS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With iOS 15, Apple introduced a feature that makes transferring data from iPhone to iPhone even easier. It’s called Prepare for New iPhone, and it gives free temporary storage space in iCloud for 21 days to make the process as painless as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as you transfer your data to your new iPhone within 21 days of triggering the process, this gets around having to pay for extra storage. If that’s not long enough, there’s an option to request an extra 21 days. Here’s how to use this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once that’s completed, or if you’ve backed up to iCloud in the usual way, you can move on to transferring data from iPhone to iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method is for cloud users. By default, your phone makes a daily backup, but if you are going to transfer data to a new iPhone, you will need to manually back it up first. The path is as follows: Settings > iCloud > Backup > Back Up Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have to wait a bit if the volume of content is large. When the backup is done, you can start restoring the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s how to transfer data from one iPhone to another using iCloud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that iCloud does not transfer 100% of the information from your phone. For example, it doesn’t save music or apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, do not forget to clean up your old iPhone if you are not going to use it anymore. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Tap Erase all content and settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transferring data with Quick Start requires a short preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, update both phones to the latest version of iOS. If the versions are different, the migration process may fail. Second, back up your old iPhone. To do this, go to Settings > iCloud > Backup > Back Up Now. Third, turn on Bluetooth to create the connection needed to transfer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is an instruction on how to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone using Quick Start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you accidentally skipped the Quick Start step or if the data transfer is interrupted for unknown reasons, try repeating the procedure. To do this, you will have to erase the contents of the new iPhone: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings. The phone will restart, and you will be able to try to transfer iPhone to iPhone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way, if both phones are running iOS 12.4 or later, you will be able to transfer absolutely all your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method requires you to create a copy of your old iPhone on your Mac and then migrate it to your new iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to transfer iPhone to iPhone through Mac:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previous data transfer options require either a network or a laptop connection. AirDrop allows you to transfer data autonomously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s how to transfer data to your new iPhone using AirDrop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method is convenient and fast, but it is only suitable for cases when you need to send a few files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, you can transfer data from an old iPhone into a new one by using iTunes and your computer. Always make sure that you are using the latest version of iTunes \u2013 or any application or software for that matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will need a backup of your old iPhone to use iTunes for transferring data. To use this method you may have to reset your iPhone if it has been set up already. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
