Video: How to Switch Information From One iPhone to Another

Video Transcript


Hi. I'm Skylar. If you'd like to move information from one iPhone to another, the easiest way to do it is using iCloud. So let's check that out. Going to go to settings and scroll down til I see iCloud. Take note of what account you're using and what content is syncing. Down at the bottom tap on storage and backup, check to see that you've got a recent backup. To do that you can see right here this was backed up yesterday at 12:20pm. So since then not much has changed. Now let's say I get a new phone. When I start setting it up I'll see a couple of different pages. And one of those is restore from iCloud backup. Tap that and then sign in with your Apple ID, the same one that we just looked up on your current phone. It'll download all of your settings and preferences first, so that you'll be able to use the phone right away, including all your contacts and calendars, it'll all be right there. What takes a little bit longer is downloading all of your applications and data and music. That stuff will continue to download as you go about your day whenever you're connected to WiFi. So within a couple of hours generally depending on the size of your iCloud backup and how much stuff you have on the previous phone, it'll be done pretty quickly. That's the easiest way to transfer information from one iPhone to another. Thanks for watching. I'm Skylar.
