Restore-Multi Devices

Dear all


I'm not an expert with backups & restore process, hopefully I will find an answers to my questions here.


- I have an ipad 4 and 3 iPhone devices ( 5s, 6 , 6 )


- I'm using 2 Apple ID's accounts.


- My iPhone is working on ios 7, while the 6 is working on is 8.


- I have only 1 icloud backup for my iPhone 6.


If I restored my new iPhone 6 with the old backup from icloud with the same apple ID of the old iPhone 6, would any data in the previous iPhone be affected/deleted ?

can I restore from the same backup morethan once? or the backup file get deleted after I restore ?


what happens to whatsapp, email accounts in the old iPhone 6 ? if I restored it In the new iPhone 6?


Is it possible to efficient to update my ipad to ios8? currently its using ios6.

No.

Yes.

Nothing. They will still be there and still work, unless you clear the old iPhone 6. You will get duplicate messages on the 2 phones.

Yes, just go to Settings/General/Software update. Or update it using iTunes.
