Method 2. How to Transfer Pictures from iPhone to iPhone via iCloud
If you prefer to use iCloud upon transferring contents, you may do so however you might not have a chance to selectively choose only the desired files to restore. You might need to restore the entire iCloud backup and not just the photos. But of course, you can still take advantage of this process at any time.
Here are the steps on how to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone via iCloud:
Backup Old iPhone
On the old iPhone, you need to create backup either automatically or manually. Let us take for example a manual backup:
- On the phone home screen, go to Settings
- Find and tap iCloud
- Tap Backup
- Make sure iCloud backup toggle bar is on or green
- Tap Backup Now
- Keep your phone connected to the WI-FI until the process is complete
- Restore iCloud Backup to the new iPhone
We will now restore the iCloud backup to the new iPhone so you can start using the new device:
Restore iCloud Backup to New iPhone
- Turn on the new iPhone until you reach the Hello screen
- Connect the device to a wireless network to load backups
- Go to the Apps and Data screen on the new iPhone
- Select Restore from iCloud Backup
- Enter the iCloud username and password
- Choose the desired iCloud backup, preferably the most recent one you made
- Wait until the restoration is completed.
Remember that all the purchases you made via AppStore and iTunes may take a while to completely restore on the new device.
That's it! your new iPhone will now have all the data from the old iPhone including the photos. All the photos you have synced with iCloud Photo Library will be included as well.
Method 3. How to Transfer Photos via iTunes Backup
There is another way to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone which is via iTunes. Just like iCloud, you are not allowed to selectively choose Photos only among the files you can restore. You need to restore the entire backup contents. First, you need to take a backup of your old iPhone to iTunes and then restore the backup to the new iPhone. Follow these detailed steps below:
Backup to iTunes
- Launch iTunes and check for latest software update
- Connect old iPhone via USB cable
- Click on the iPhone icon once it appears on iTunes
- Go to the Summary page and click on Backup Now
- Wait until the backup is finished
To make sure that the iTunes backup is successfully processed, you can go to Devices Preferences and check if there is your latest iTunes backup with complete data and time stamps.
Restore from iTunes
Now that you have created a backup of the old iPhone, you can transfer them to the new iPhone so you can enjoy the device as soon as possible.
- Turn on the new iPhone and go to the Hello screen
- Proceed to Apps & Data screen and choose Restore from iTunes backup
- Launch iTunes on the computer and connect the new phone
- Click on the iPhone icon and go to the Summary pane
- Click Restore backup and follow onscreen prompts
- Wait until the process has finished successfully
If you encrypted your backup, enter the password you have set. Do not disconnect the iPhone unless iTunes tells you so. Photos and other media contents might take a while to fully restore on the new iPhone so better plug in the new device to a power source while the process is ongoing.
Now that you have successfully transferred photos from iPhone to iPhone, you can decide whether to wipe clean the old iPhone if you are going to give it away for sale or hand it down to another person. This is to ensure that your data is safe and protected.
To erase your personal information of the old iPhone, refer below:
- Tap Settings on the old phone
- Go to General and tap Reset
- Find and tap Erase All Content and Setting
- Wait until process is completed
You will see the Hello screen once the device has successfully erased all the necessary information from the old device. But of course, make sure you have created backups prior to the deletion.
