Hi Allisonlewis8118,


If you're looking to move data from an old iPhone to a new one, check out the Quick Start option here: Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone


If you're only looking to send photos or share documents, and more with other Apple devices that are nearby use AirDrop.


"How to use AirDrop


Follow the steps for your device.

 

On your iPhone 11 or later

  1. Open an app, then tap Share or the Share button . If you share a photo from the Photos app, you can swipe left or right and select multiple photos.
  2. Tap the AirDrop button.
  3. If the person that you want to share with also has an iPhone 11 or later model, point your iPhone in the direction of the other iPhone.
  4. Tap the profile picture of its user at the top of the screen. Or you can use AirDrop between your own Apple devices. If you see a red numbered badge on the AirDrop button, there are multiple devices nearby that you can share with. Tap the AirDrop button, then tap the user that you want to share with. Learn what to do if you don't see the AirDrop user or your other device."


You can find steps for iPhone XS or earlier and more information here: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If there's a different issue, provide more details about what you're looking to accomplish. We'll continue to help.


Best.
