My old iPhone says it is transferring data but nothing is registering on my new phone what button do I press next

Welcome duncanmoir,

We understand you're having issues using Quick Start on your iPhone. We'll do our best to assist with this.

How did it go after waiting to hear back from this post? The reason we ask is because as stated in: Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Choose how you want to transfer your data.

- If you download from iCloud, your apps and data download in the background so that you can start using your new device right away.

- If you transfer directly from your previous device, you'll need to wait for the transfer to complete on both devices before you can use them.

Keep your devices near each other and plugged in to power until the data migration process is complete. Transfer times can vary based on factors such as network conditions and the amount of data being transferred.

*Make sure you're connected to a known good working Wi-Fi network to complete these steps. The time to complete this transfer will vary depending on the content that needs to transfer and the network speeds.

If the issue has continued, how did you originally transfer this data? Did you use iCloud or the previous device? What steps have you tried? That way we don't repeat them along the way.

Hoping to hear back, take care.
