How Do I Transfer Apps Between Apple Devices? [5 Quick Fixes]

Is there a way to transfer apps between devices? I have an app on my iPad and I want to get the same app on my new iPhone with the data from my iPad. The app is paid for and I don't want to pay for something I've already purchased.

You can transfer apps from one Apple device to another with EaseUS MobiMover.

EaseUS MobiMover is the most flexible way to help users transfer apps from iPhone to iPhone, iPhone to iPad, iPad to iPad, and more. You can select all your apps or just part of them on your one Apple device to another iOS device with just one click. Photos, videos, contacts, messages, and more data types are supported.

You can transfer apps between devices with Quick Start, iCloud, iTunes, and AirDrop. Let's explore individually.

Transfer apps between Apple devices with Quick Start:

  • Power your two iOS devices on and place them within Bluetooth range. Turn the Bluetooth on to pair them.
  • Your source iPhone will display a "Set Up New iPhone" window. Check that the Apple ID is correct and tap "Continue."
  • An animation will appear on your target device. Scan your target iPhone with the source iPhone.
  • When you see the "Finish on New iPhone" notification, enter the old password on your source Apple device to the target one.
  • Follow the onscreen guides to set up your Touch /Face ID on the source iPhone. Then, you can transfer all content, including apps, or download from iCloud to your target iPhone.

Transfer apps between Apple devices using iCloud:

Please ensure your iCloud account has enough storage space and connect your source device to Wi-Fi.

  • On the source device, go to "Settings" > your name > "iCloud" > "Restore from iCloud Backup". Toggle on "iCloud Backup" > "Back Up Now". Wait for the backup process to finish.
  • On the target device, connect the same Wi-Fi. Then, follow the onscreen instructions. When you see the "Apps & Data Screen" option, tap "Restore from iCloud Backup" and "Next".
  • Enter your Apple ID and sign in to iCloud.
  • Under the "Choose backup" section, select the backup you recently created and wait for the restore process to finish.

Transfer apps between Apple devices by iTunes:

  • Connect your old Apple device to the computer. Launch iTunes.
  • Locate the device icon on the left panel and select "Summary" under "Settings".
  • Click "Back Up Now" and wait for the backup process to finish. Then, disconnect your old Apple device.
  • Power the target device on and follow the onscreen instructions to set it up. When you see the "Apps & Data Screen" option, tap " Restore from iTunes Backup" and "Next".
  • Connect your new Apple device to the same computer and launch iTunes.
  • Locate the device icon on the left panel and select "Summary" under "Settings".
  • Click "Restore Backup…" and wait for the transfer process to finish.

Transfer apps between Apple devices via AirDrop:

  • Enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the two devices. Then, turn on AirDrop on both devices.
  • Go to the "App Store" on the old iPhone and search for the app you want to transfer. Tap the "Share" button, choose "AirDrop", and tap the target device.
  • On the target device, tap "Accept".

As you can see, EaseUS MobiMover offers users an easier-to-use app transfer solution. Users can transfer only apps, not all contents, from one device to another. Further, users can select all or only selected apps, preview the items, and start the transfer with one click.
