Syncing your iPhone and iPad is essential if you want to keep your data on both devices up-to-date. One of the easiest ways to do this is by correctly using iCloud. iCloud can sync up to 90% of the things you want to sync up. The remaining 10% of people who are not getting quite enough with this first method can use another method that requires a different software on a computer. In this article, we’ll go through both methods.
The first thing you need to check is if you’re using the same Apple ID on your phone and iPad. To do this, go to the settings app on your phone, click on iCloud, and make sure your name is up there. If it says sign in, make sure you sign in to iCloud. You need to ensure that whatever email shows up here under your name is the same email you’re using on your iCloud on the iPad.
Next, go to the settings app on the iPad, click your name on top, and make sure you’re using the same Apple ID. If you’re not, the rest won’t work. You can then go back to your settings on your iPhone and click on iCloud. Make sure everything that you want to sync between the two devices is checked on here. Some apps may not be compatible and may require you to download them again from the App Store on the iPad.
If you want your photos to be the same on your iPhone and iPad, make sure you go to photos and ensure iCloud photos are turned on. You can choose optimize iPhone storage and make sure shared albums are checked on as well if you want those on your iPad too. If you have individual photos that are not showing up on your iPad, you can use AirDrop. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on and try using Bluetooth to send it to your iPad.
If you’re not getting exactly what you need from the above method, you can use an app called Doctor Phone. However, you need a computer for this and need to connect your iPhone and iPad one at a time. The app transfers anything from your phone to your Mac or Windows computer. You can transfer everything from your phone onto your computer and then transfer everything back to your iPad.
In conclusion, syncing your iPhone and iPad is crucial if you want to keep your data up-to-date. iCloud is the easiest way to do this, but you can always use Doctor Phone if you’re not getting the desired results.
