1. How to Completely Transfer iCloud to New Phone?

By following the steps below, you should be able to transfer your iCloud completely to your new device:

• Step 1: Turn your new device on. A "Hello" screen should appear. If your device is already set up, you will need to erase it for the steps we have outlined below to work. You may need to know how to backup then erase data on iPhone.
• Step 2: Follow the onscreen steps to the Wi-Fi screen.
• Step 3: Click a Wi-Fi network to join. Again, follow the onscreen steps to the Apps & Data Screen. Click Restore from iCloud Backup.
• Step 4: Using your Apple ID and password, sign into iCloud.
• Step 5: Choose a backup to restore. Check the date and size of the backup to make sure it is the correct backup.
• Step 6: Stay connected to the internet for the restoration process to finish and then complete the setup process. For content like photos, apps, and music to be downloaded, you will need to plug your iPhone into power and also keep it connected to the internet after the setup.

2. Transfer Contacts, Notes, Safari from iCloud to New Phone

It is possible to transfer your contacts, Safari data, reminders, and more from iCloud to your new iPhone. This can be done through syncing. We will discuss how to sync contacts using iCloud to transfer to new phone. Just follow the steps below:

• Step 1: Open Settings, tap [your name] and click iCloud. For iOS 10.2 and below, open Settings and click iCloud.
• Step 2: Toggle on Contacts under iCloud. In the confirmation box that appears, tap Merge.

For syncing other data types, you can use steps similar to the ones we have listed above.

The two methods we have outlined above will help you to transfer iCloud to new phone. However, they are not perfect. When using the first method, you will have to transfer all the data available in iCloud or nothing. You cannot transfer just the data you need. While using the second method, you only get to sync limited data types which iCloud supports. As an iPhone user, you will want to transfer more data such as WhatsApp and text messages which are more important. Sometimes, you may want to transfer the data selectively.
