Apps do not transfer from a previous iPhone. Instead, they are downloaded from the App Store to the new iPhone.


The app’s data and Home Screen location does transfer from the old iPhone. Try first Force Restarting the new iPhone as follows:

  • Press and quickly release the volume up button
  • Press and quickly release the volume down button
  • Press and hold the power button until the Apple logo appears


Then restore the old iPhone’s backup to the new iPhone.
