Verizon Cloud (Apple)
Transfer Content

Whether you're switching to a new model or just need to move your files to a different device, the Verizon Cloud app helps you wirelessly transfer your content from one Apple® iPhone® to another.

Before you begin

Make sure both phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Any contacts or media backed up to a cloud service (e.g., Verizon Cloud, iCloud® , Google™ Drive, etc.) aren't transferred by the Content Transfer process and must be restored to your device using that service.
Content Transfer only transfers contacts, media, etc. to the new phone that hasn't already been backed up to a cloud service. To restore content from a Verizon Cloud backup, refer to Verizon Cloud (Apple) - Restore Content.
