Keep 2 iPhones updated with the same data

I have 2 i phones, one 6s+ and the other is 8+ and i use the same apple id for them and both are backup to same icloud. My issue is that I am using the i phone 8+ as a main but sometimes i use my old 6S+ while the data on it is not updated like in my 8+ (new apps, data in some apps, photos, memos...) so i want a way to keep the 6S+ updated with the same data of my iphone 8+

iPhone 6s Plus

If you're using the same iCloud account on both, you can sync contacts, notes, calendars, etc. using the native apps that come with the phone. If you need to keep the photos in sync as well, use iCloud photo library. You can set the App Store to automatically download new purchases, which will put any new apps you download on the other device, but you'll have to delete any you don't want manually.


The only thing that presents a problem is in app data. Unless the app developer supports some way of 'syncing' the in app data to the cloud, there's no way to synchronize them.
