Easy phone-to-phone data transfer

With just one click, you can transfer everything across supported devices. But if you’d rather cherry-pick the items that you’d like carried over to the new device, PhoneTrans lets you do that too with a selective transfer feature allowing you to transfer selected data only.

The app’s interface is self-explanatory so it’s easy to use for beginners. Besides, power users can rest assured knowing that PhoneTrans supports vital personal data, such as WhatsApp messages, as well as your contact, photos, calendars, to-dos and so forth. As if that wasn’t enough, PhoneTrans even supports transferring apps from one iPhone to another.

Three transfer modes

The app includes three device-to-device transfer modes: Quick Transfer, Phone Clone and Phone Merge.With Quick Transfer mode, as you may have guessed already, you can save time by choosing which important items you’d like to transfer from your old to your new device, like contacts you’ve saved, photos you’ve shot, any music you’ve collected, etc.

Phone Clone modemakes a 1:1 copy of your data and settings from your previous phone on the new device. This mode is only for iPhone/iPad to iPhone/iPad migration or migration between Android devices (cross-platform transfer is unsupported in this mode).

As its name suggests,Phone Merge modepermits you to merge the content of two devices to ensure your data is well organized and nothing gets overwritten. This lets you make a carbon copy of your old device without losing any data, even if your new phone is already in use.

You can merge data from multiple devices to your daily driver with just a few clicks. Don’t worry, PhoneTrans will not create any duplicates while in this mode. Similar to Phone Clone mode, Phone Merge does not support cross-platform transfer.
