Transferring contacts from one iPhone to another can be a breeze! This article will show you how to do it without using iCloud.
Step 1: Back Up Your Old iPhone’s Contacts
Before transferring data from your old iPhone to the new one, it’s important to back up the contacts from your old device. This will ensure that all your contacts remain safe and sound so that you can access them on your new device.
To back up your old iPhone’s contacts, you can choose to do it either through iTunes or through a third-party app.
If you choose to back up your contacts through iTunes, you will need a computer to do this. Connect your old iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. Then open iTunes and select your device from the list of options. Under the “Backups” section, select “This computer” and then click “Back Up Now”. Once the backup is complete, disconnect your old device from the computer.
Alternatively, you can use a third-party app to back up your contacts. There are many apps available for the task, such as My Contacts Backup (iOS) or Contacts Backup (Android). Download the app to your old iPhone and follow the instructions to back up your contacts. When the backup is complete, you can delete the app from your device.
Step 2: Transfer Contacts to New iPhone
Once your contacts are backed up, you can begin to transfer them to your new iPhone. There are several methods you can use to do this, such as using iTunes, an email provider, or a third-party app.
If you have already backed up your contacts through iTunes, then you can use that to transfer the contacts to your new device. To do this, connect your new iPhone to the same computer that you used to back up your old device. Then open iTunes and select your new device from the list of options. Under the “Backups” section, select “Restore from This Computer” and then click “Restore”. Your contacts will be transferred to your new device.
Alternatively, if you backed up your contacts through an email provider, such as Gmail or Outlook, then you can use that to transfer the contacts to your new device. To do this, open the email app on your new iPhone and sign in with the same email address that you used to back up your contacts. Then go to the contacts section, select “Import Contacts”, and choose the email address from which you want to import the contacts. Your contacts will be transferred to your new device.
Finally, if you backed up your contacts through a third-party app, such as My Contacts Backup or Contacts Backup, then you can use that app to transfer the contacts to your new device. To do this, download the app to your new iPhone and sign in with the same email address that you used to back up your contacts. Then go to the contacts section, select “Import Contacts”, and choose the email address from which you want to import the contacts. Your contacts will be transferred to your new device.
Step 3: Verify Contacts Have Been Transferred
Once you’ve transferred your contacts to your new iPhone, it’s important to verify that the transfer was successful. To do this, open the Contacts app on your new device and check that all your contacts are present. If any of them are missing, you can use one of the methods above to transfer them again.
Step 4: Remove Backups From Old iPhone and Computer
Once you’ve verified that all your contacts have been transferred to your new device, it’s important to remove any backups from your old iPhone and computer. To do this, open iTunes on the computer and select your old device from the list of options. Then click “Remove Backup” and follow the instructions to delete the backup.
Then open the third-party app on your old device and sign in with the same email address that you used to back up your contacts. Then go to the contacts section, select “Delete Contacts”, and choose the email address from which you want to delete the contacts. Your contacts will be removed from your old device.
Finally, if you backed up your contacts through an email provider, such as Gmail or Outlook, then you can use that to delete the contacts from your old device. To do this, open the email app on your old iPhone and sign in with the same email address that you used to back up your contacts. Then go to the contacts section, select “Delete Contacts”, and choose the email address from which you want to delete the contacts. Your contacts will be removed from your old device.
Step 5: Enjoy Your New iPhone Without Worrying About Contacts
Now that you’ve successfully transferred your contacts from your old iPhone to your new one without using iCloud, you can enjoy your new device without worrying about losing any contacts.
