Hi,

On my old Iphone I have 173 GB from 256 used. And now my new iphone is 128 GB. How can I transfer everything on my new Iphone? On my new iphone I want to continue all of my chats and conversations without loosing the history. Is that possible?

Probably you have iCloud enabled on iPhone 8. How are you transferring?


iPhone to iPhone, there are three ways,

  1. Quick Transfer --> Use QuickStart to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod ...
  2. Restore from iCloud Backup --> Restore or set up your device from an iCloud backup - Apple ...
  3. Restore from iTunes backup --> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in iTunes on PC ...
