Sync apps between iPhones using iCloud

iCloud is also a convenient option for transferring apps from iPhone to iPhone. Unlike Quick Start and Phone Transfer that offers direct app transfer between iPhones, iCloud entails a backup and restore procedure, which basically works like old iPhone to iCloud, and then iCloud to new iPhone.

Before you start, ensure that you have a stable Wi-Fi connection during the transfer as it requires a stable connection to cloud storage service.

1. Turn on a Wi-Fi network and get your iPhones connected to it.

2. Navigate to the Settings tab on your old iPhone, then choose your account name. Next, tap iCloud > iCloud Backup from the list.

3. Enable iCloud Backup and then pick Back Up Now from the options. Then, wait patiently for the backup process to finish.

5. Select your Wi-Fi network on the Wi-Fi screen and follow the on-screen directions until the Apps & Data Screen displays.

6. Select Restore from iCloud Backup and log in to iCloud using the same Apple ID. Next, select the most recent backup you made and wait for iCloud to restore your app data to new iPhone.

Although iCloud is available for transferring apps, it only has 5 GB cloud storage for free. And there is no doubt that the apps on your old iPhone will definitely exceed the limit. So iCloud might be a helpful tool for app transfer, but it won't be your first option when switching to a new iPhone.

AirDrop apps between iPhone and iPhone

As a preset feature on every iOS device, AirDrop allows you to share files from one iPhone to another. It's a common option when you like to share pictures, songs and so on. Actually, it also helps when you want to share an app.

• WiFi and Bluetooth should be turned on first. Then, to use AirDrop, go to Settings > General > AirDrop and select the Contacts only or Everyone.
• Choose the app you wish to share and keep pressing on it. Now from the following options, select Share, and then choose the target iPhone.
• On another iPhone that you sync apps to, you will see a given choice to approve or disapprove of the reception. If you want to proceed with the process, select Accept.
