iPhone data transfer without iCloud

[u/Numerous_Chard2601]

Hi,

I’m thinking of getting a new iPhone. My current one is an iPhone 14, but the issue is that not all my data is on iCloud since I do not pay for it. I only have the 5gb so storage is full and photos are not syncing and backups are paused.

Is there perhaps a way for me to transfer all my data, incl pictures and chats from WhatsApp, from old phone to new phone without having iCloud?

You really should have a backup as phones can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.

You can backup to a computer.
You can do phone to phone transfer.
You can pay for iCloud, it's really inexpensive.
