iCloud Storage (Post Transfer)

So I Just Transferred Everything From My iPhone That Has A Half Broken Screen To An iPhone That I’ll Be Using, But, After The Transfer I Tried To Download Something That I Needed And It Said “Not Enough Storage Space“

So Then I Noticed My Apps Haven’t All Downloaded From The Other Phone. I Then Was Looking Into The Phone Settings And Really Looking Around And That’s Where I Found That No App Store Apps Are Being Downloaded To The iCloud+ Storage I’m Subscribed To For Around $2.99m/o. On The Broken One I Went To The Storage To See If It Showed Apps In iCloud Storage And It Did. But For The New Phone It Does Not Show Any Apps On The Bar Chart. Just Photos, Documents, Etc.

What’s Going On With This.

App data can be stored in iCloud, but the apps themselves cannot.

You need to go to the App Store to redownload your apps.

Does this phone have the same amount of storage as your old one? That is, if your old phone was 64GB, is this one also 64GB?

Nvm I Did Research And I Understand What You’re Saying. It’s Actually Just Photos, Messages, Docs, And Like One Other Thing. Which In My Oppinion Isn’t To Smart Of Apple But Hey. It Is What It Is I Guess.

Basically My Problem Is My Friends Phone That She Gave Me Has A Lot Less Storage On It And I’m Just Now Figuring That Out. Thanks For Helping Me Figure That Out @Lyssa

I Was Going Crazy Trying To Figure That Out.

Apps cannot be installed in iCloud. iCloud is used to back up your phone and store documents.

The iPhone I Transferred From Has App Data On The List Of Things The $2.99 Extra 200GB iCloud+ Allowed Me To Have On That Phone. I Had A Good Bit Of Apps Follow Onto The New Phone But Not All Of Them. And When I Go Check The Settings On The New Phone It Doesn’t List It And I’m Not Able To Re Download All The Apps I Had.
