Will erasing data from new iphone delete it on my old one?

Hello, I just got a new iphone but the icloud backup didn't restore all the data from my old iphone, so I wanted to reset my new iphone and try again over wifi.


Upon going to reset it, it says it will also delete my apple ID and settings. Will this also erase it from my old phone?


Thanks!

No. The process that you are using will only erase data on your new iPhone. Once you have reset your new iPhone then you can Transfer Data from old iPhone to new by using one of the two methods listed below.


Do you have a backup created either on iCloud or on your computer?

Method 1 - Backup your old iPhone on your computer like this 👉 How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support and then Restore your new iPhone from that backup like this 👉 Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


Method 2 - The Quick Start method and here is how to do that 👉  Use Quick Start to transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
