Well you could take an iCloud backup of everything you got on your iPhone after you set it up. Some apps like WhatsApp, need to do their own iCloud backup. Please ensure you do this for any such apps you care about. Then attempt erasing the phone and starting all over again, like @LD150 mentioned above. Get everything from the other phone and then restore stuff from the iCloud backup, once you’re done with move to iOS successfully. This way you wouldn’t lose what you recently saved, before doing a full reset.

That cannot be done, the only way to restore an iCloud backup is to a fully wiped phone. Cannot restore backup and add to existing data.

The OP would have to COPY stuff to iCloud Drive. Not the same thing.

Similarly Whatsapp icloud backups can only be restored after uninstalling the app and losing all existing data,
