I just got a new iphone and I forgot to upload my data into the cloud so my new phone transfered stuff that was only updated the last time I had uploaded my to my cloud. If my new phone is already set up is there any way I can send all my stuff from the newly updated cloud on my old phone to my new phone so I do not have to start brand new on all my pictures/messages etc?

I understand what you are seeking to do, however, that is not possible. You will have to start the process again. Manually initiate an iCloud backup from your old iPhone and then restore your new iPhone from that backup.


The other option is to use the Quick Start method and here is how to do that ➔  Use Quick Start to transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
