Hello celnet,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That's a great question you have about using Quick Start to transfer information from your old device to a new one. From the article you came to the Communities from:


"If you don't see the option to continue on your current device, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on."


It looks like Bluetooth will need to be activated and not Wi-Fi.


Let us know if you need further assistance and have a wonderful day!
