Using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, set up your new iOS device automatically.
How to transfer iPhone to iPhone? Quick Start allows you to quickly set up a new iOS or iPadOS device using information from your existing device. The rest of your data and content can then be restored from your iCloud backup to your new device.
If you’re starting up a new device with your current device and it’s running iOS 12.4 or later or iPadOS 13.4, you can use Quick Start’s device-to-device migration feature. This enables you to wirelessly transfer all of your data from your old device to your new one.
Because Quick Start uses both devices, pick a time when you won’t need to use your present device for several minutes.
Quick Start: How to Use It
Turn on your new gadget and place it next to your old one. The Quick Start screen opens on your current device and allows you to set up your new device with your Apple ID. Make sure you’re using the Apple ID you want, then press Continue. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on if you don’t see the option to continue on your current device.
On your new device, wait for an animation to appear. Place your old gadget on top of the new one, then center the animation in the viewfinder. Wait for the message “Finish on New [Device]” to appear. If you can’t use the camera on your current device, tap Authenticate Manually and then follow the on-screen instructions.
When prompted, enter the passcode for your current device on your new device.
Set up Face ID or Touch ID on your new device according to the instructions.
On your new device, enter your Apple ID password when prompted. If you have multiple devices, you may need to input their passcodes as well.
You may either move data from one device to another or restore apps, data, and settings from your most recent iCloud backup on your new device. You can also restore from a computer backup by tapping Other Options. You can choose whether or not to transfer some settings relating to location, privacy, Apple Pay, and Siri once you’ve picked a backup.
If you have an Apple Watch and are setting up a new iPhone, you’ll be asked if you want your Apple Watch data and settings transferred as well.
