Quick Start can transfer some app data, but it does not transfer everything. Here's a breakdown of what Quick Start can and cannot do regarding app data:
What App Data Quick Start Transfers:
✔️Core Settings: Quick Start transfers essential settings such as Apple ID, Wi-Fi passwords, and Apple Pay settings.
✔️Some App Data: If both devices are running iOS 12.4 or later, Quick Start can transfer certain app data, including:
- Messages
- Photos
- Contacts
- Calendar events
- Mail accounts
- Some app settings
What Quick Start Does Not Transfer
❌Downloaded Content: Quick Start does not transfer downloaded content from apps like podcasts, music, or videos. You may need to manually download these again after the transfer.
❌App-Specific Data: Some apps may not transfer all data, especially if they rely on cloud services or have their own backup systems. For example, game progress or specific app settings might not be included.
❌Apps Not Installed: Quick Start will not transfer apps that are not already installed on the new device. It can only transfer the apps that are on the old device, and they will need to be re-downloaded from the App Store.
In summary, while Quick Start facilitates the transfer of many settings and some app data, it does not guarantee that all app data will be transferred seamlessly. For a complete transfer of all data, including downloaded content and specific app data, it is recommended to use an iCloud or iTunes backup in conjunction with Quick Start.
