hey everyone in today's iphone video i
want to show you how to go from your old
iphone
to your new iphone and transfer all the
data over
and this is everything i'm talking about
all your apps all your contact
information all your photos
and the new process that has been around
for a couple years
makes it a whole lot easier you
literally have to just keep these phones
next to each other wirelessly
and you don't need a computer you don't
even need icloud which was the method
that we used for a long time
we put everything from this phone onto
icloud and then downloaded it to the new
phone this is much much better
so i wanted to make this quick video to
show you exactly how to transfer data
from one phone
to another and this works for lots of
different phones you could be going from
iphone 7
to iphone 12 and really any combination
should work with this method
now if your new phone is set to the home
screen like it is now i just set it up
as a new phone
i have to reset the new phone to factory
settings to do that
i'm going to go to settings under
settings scroll down to general
and on the very bottom here there's a
reset option press that
and we want to erase all content and
settings we need to do this step
in order to take advantage of this
system here so
you could either back up then erase but
since i haven't set anything up here i
just went through the setup process
i'm gonna just press erase now and it's
going to erase the phone to factory
settings
now if you started on the hello screen
here with your new iphone you could skip
the last step here because you're
already
going to be starting right here one more
thing just for safety on the old phone
go to settings
click your name up here to go inside of
icloud
and then go to icloud over here and then
scroll down to
icloud backup click this and we want to
make sure this is turned on
and that we back up now you want to make
sure you do this
now this is not necessary because we're
not using icloud to backup from one
phone to another phone
but we do this just as a backup in case
something goes wrong
so once we do that we're gonna come back
to this new phone
slide up and i'm going to go ahead and
lock this phone and unlock it one more
time
because we're going to get this setting
right here it says set up the new
iphone so i'm going to say unlock to
continue
and i should get this prompt right here
and all i have to do
is use the old phone to scan this right
here on the new phone
and once i do that it's actually going
to take the information from this phone
and put it over here
so i'll need to put in my passcode from
this phone and this is moving the wi-fi
information
and some other information like that
we're actually going to take another
step
to move in our apps and our photos and
things like that
now you could set up your face id here
i'll just set this up later
now on this page you have two options
transfer from your iphone it's gonna
take everything from this iphone put it
over here
and this is 20 to 25 minutes so that's
pretty much the standard time that it
will take
depending on how much you got on your
old phone or download from icloud
this option is good the first one that's
what we're gonna choose the only problem
with this option
is both of these have to be on the same
ios
or your new phone has to be on a newer
ios
but in almost all cases the first one
will work for you so select that and it
will basically go through the setup
process
you could put both of these down and let
that take place
and you should see this screen right
here transferring data from one phone
to another phone and again this depends
on how much data you're transferring
from one device to another so it may
take up to 30 minutes or
longer depending on how many photos and
how many apps you have
on your old device so i'm gonna let this
take place i'll show you the next page
okay so it took about 30 35 minutes in
my case
and i should see something on my old
phone that says transfer complete
and it says before you trade in your
phone or sell it or give it away
make sure you erase all your data now
this is the same
exact thing i showed you in the very
beginning of the video
so you could go back to that and then do
that to your old phone which is
basically resetting all your information
and erasing everything
now on the new phone it's going to take
a little bit of time here for everything
to go ahead and
move over and download so you could see
all these different apps
are starting to slowly download to my
phone and in a few minutes
everything should be synced up including
all my data information
all my photos all my text messages they
should all appear
over here and you can see all the pages
are slowly
migrating over and all the apps are
downloading now if you're selling your
old phone or you're giving it to someone
else
remember make sure you reset your phone
to his
factory default which i showed you in
the beginning of this video
because you don't want people to have
access to your private information on
your old phone so make sure you totally
wipe it clean
thanks so much for watching this video i
hope you found it useful
please give it a thumbs up and i'll see
you next time
