Quickest Win: Using Quick Start

3. When prompted, use your old iPhone’s camera to scan the animation on your new iPhone.

Systematic Fix: iCloud Backup

1. On your old iPhone, go to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > iCloud Backup and tap Back Up Now.
2. On your new iPhone, during setup, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and sign in with your Apple ID.

Long-Term Optimization: iTunes/Finder Backup

1. Connect your old iPhone to your computer and open iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later).
