Data Sharing and Security

As you transfer your apps from your old iPhone 13 to your new iPhone 15, you might be wondering what data gets transferred along with them.

Your new iPhone redownloads a fresh copy of the app from the App Store, but the data you've accumulated is another story. App data synced with iCloud, such as game saves and notes, will transfer to your new iPhone.

Login credentials saved in your iCloud Keychain will also be transferred, making it easier to access your favorite apps on your new device. This is especially convenient for apps that use your iCloud account to sync your progress.

However, not all data will transfer. Files stored only locally within an app's 'sandbox' might not make the cut, so you'll need to log in again to access them. Certain settings that aren't designed to sync will also be lost in the transition.

Some apps might require you to log in again, especially if they're not enabled to use iCloud. But don't worry, it's an easy process and you'll be back up and running in no time.

Here's a breakdown of what data typically transfers and what might not:

You can't AirDrop apps directly from iPhone to iPhone, but you can share them using AirDrop.

AirDrop is a feature that allows you to transfer files, including photos, videos, contacts, and more, between two AirDrop-supported devices.

To share apps from iPhone to iPhone with AirDrop, you'll need to enable Bluetooth and WiFi on both devices and turn on AirDrop.

Go to the App Store on the source iPhone and search for the app you want to share.

Tap on the "Share" icon on the product page and choose "AirDrop" > [target device].

You'll need to click "View" to check and download the app on the other iPhone.

If your AirDrop is not working, you can fix it before using it to transfer data.

Transferring Apps from Old to New

You can transfer apps from your old iPhone 13 to your new iPhone 15 using various methods, including iTunes, iCloud, and Quick Start.
