Upgrading to the new iPhone 13 can be an exciting experience, but transferring important information from your old phone, especially your contacts, can be a hassle. In this tutorial, we’ll show you some easy ways to transfer contacts from one iPhone to another without losing any data.
How to Transfer Contacts from iPhone to iPhone Using iCloud Sync
If you still have both your old and new iPhones at hand, it’s easy to transfer contacts using iCloud sync. Simply connect both phones to a reliable Wi-Fi network and follow these steps:
- Log into your Apple ID account on both iPhones.
- On the old phone, go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Contacts.
- Select “Combine” when prompted with “What would you like to do with existing local contacts on your iPhone?”
- Wait for the contacts to sync, and they’ll be copied to your new iPhone automatically.
How to Transfer iPhone Contacts to New iPhone Using iCloud Backup
If iCloud sync isn’t an option, you can use iCloud backup to transfer contacts to your new iPhone. Here’s how:
- Turn on your new iPhone and join a Wi-Fi network.
- Sign in to your Apple ID and select “Restore from iCloud Backup” when prompted with the “Apps & Data” screen.
- Select the most recent backup and wait for the transfer process to complete.
Note that this method will erase all data on your new iPhone, so use it only if you haven’t set up the phone or don’t mind losing your current data.
