How do I transfer all of my apps from the iphone 6s to my new iphone 11

My contacts and pictures transferred but many of my apps have been sitting in 'waiting' mode for 3 days now


iPhone 11, iOS 13

mostly the waiting mode is due to wifi.

I made a reset of my iphone today and it was in waiting for a long time. the wifi was super fast but it took a lot of time to download, if posible try this method.

First restart your mobile

open youtube or any app that uses wifi/data(according to my theory when you do this, there is a data flow going on in your phone)

leave it for some time near the router and see if the apps that are waiting are downloaded.

When apps show waiting there will be one or more app showing loading, pause them and start them again.


I aint no expert but trying to do something rather than just leaving as it is.
