If you want to copy an app from one iPhone to another (your own, a friend\u2019s, partner\u2019s, or colleague\u2019s), you don\u2019t necessarily have to search for it in the App Store. It\u2019s easier to send a direct link. Here\u2019s how you can transfer an app from iPhone to iPhone right now.<\/strong><\/p>

Sending a Link \u2014 A Quick Task<\/strong><\/h3>

There\u2019s a simple and reliable method to share an app from iPhone to iPhone with just a few taps. This method works not only for iPhones but also for iPads. Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/p>

  • Open the home screen, press and hold the app icon until a menu with options appears.<\/li>
  • Select the \u201cShare App\u201d option.<\/li>
  • Choose how you want to send the app link through the iOS sharing menu (via email, message, Telegram, Whatsapp, Viber, or any other messenger).<\/li>
  • Select the friend to whom you want to send the link and confirm the sending (\u201cSend\u201d). If the link appears in the conversation, you\u2019re all set.<\/li><\/ul>

    \"\"<\/p>

    Using AirDrop<\/strong><\/h3>

    Another way to transfer apps from iPhone to iPhone involves the beloved AirDrop service. Unlike the previous method, this one only works if the other iPhone is nearby, within Bluetooth range. This method is also straightforward:<\/p>

    • Select the app on your phone, press and hold until a drop-down menu appears.<\/li>
    • Tap on \u201cShare App\u201d and choose AirDrop from the available sharing options.<\/li>
    • Find your friend\u2019s phone in the list and confirm your intention to send (make sure AirDrop is enabled on the receiving iPhone. If your iPhone doesn\u2019t detect it, check the visibility: on the second device, press and hold the Bluetooth icon in Control Center > hold the AirDrop icon > select \u201cEveryone for 10 minutes\u201d).<\/li><\/ul>

      \"\"<\/p>

      • Your friend just needs to accept the transfer via AirDrop.<\/li><\/ul>

        \"\"<\/p>

        Sending via AirDrop is convenient because you don\u2019t need to download any app for transferring data from iPhone to iPhone. This method also works for transferring apps between an iPhone and a MacBook. You\u2019ll be redirected to the app\u2019s page in the App Store.<\/p>

        \"\"<\/p>

        Here\u2019s how to do it: select the app and hold until \u201cShare App\u201d appears. Choose AirDrop as the transfer method. From the list of \u201cMy Devices,\u201d select your laptop. The receiving device will prompt options to \u201cAccept\u201d or \u201cDecline.\u201d If the devices are synchronized, the MacBook will instantly show the app, ready for download. Just start the download process.<\/p>

        \"\"<\/p>

        Note: If transferring apps from iPhone to iPhone doesn\u2019t work, update iOS. It\u2019s possible that the devices are using different operating system versions.<\/p>

        Additional Methods<\/strong><\/h3>

        You can find online instructions for transferring apps from iPhone to iPhone using Shareit or other auxiliary apps. While you can use these, remember that Apple devices work best with native services and software, so prioritize the first two methods.<\/p>

        If You Need More Than Just a Link<\/p>

        For example, if you\u2019ve purchased a new smartphone and want to transfer all valuable software with minimal effort, there are several ways to move all apps from iPhone to iPhone: via iTunes, iCloud, and Quick Start.<\/p>

        Using iTunes\/Finder<\/strong><\/h3>
        • Connect your old iPhone to a PC, open iTunes\/Finder, and go to \u201cDevice\u201d > \u201cSummary\u201d\/\u201cGeneral\u201d > \u201cBack Up Now.\u201d<\/li>
        • Once the backup is created, disconnect your phone and proceed with setting up your new iPhone using the same Apple ID.<\/li>
        • When the setup reaches the \u201cApps & Data\u201d stage, choose the option to \u201cRestore from Mac or PC.\u201d<\/li>
        • Connect the new phone to the computer with the backup, select iTunes\/Finder, and in the app interface, choose your phone. The backup restoration will start. After completion, you can continue setting up your device. And you\u2019re good to go!<\/li><\/ul>

          \"\"<\/p>

          Using iCloud<\/strong><\/h3>

          Another way to transfer apps from one iPhone to another is through iCloud backup. This doesn\u2019t require a computer. When your new phone is turned on, proceed to the Wi-Fi setup stage, select the network, and follow the instructions until you reach the \u201cApps & Data\u201d screen:<\/p>

          • Tap on \u201cRestore from iCloud Backup,\u201d sign in with your Apple ID and password, and then choose the pre-existing backup when prompted.<\/li>
          • Do not disconnect until the process is complete, and then continue setting up the new device.<\/li><\/ul>

            It\u2019s recommended to keep Wi-Fi connected during the process, as it\u2019s necessary for automatically transferring photos, music, apps, and other content from the cloud. The system may also require verification through Apple ID.<\/p>

            Using Quick Start<\/strong><\/h3>

            This method differs from the previous ones because it involves using both devices simultaneously, transferring data in real-time rather than in the background. You won\u2019t be able to use your phone until the process is finished. Here\u2019s how to transfer apps from iPhone to iPhone using Bluetooth:<\/p>

            • Place the devices next to each other and connect them to a network. On the old phone, enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. When turning on the new device, the system will offer to set it up.<\/li>
            • Connect the new iPhone to the mobile network and Wi-Fi. You might need to activate a cellular plan.<\/li>
            • Set up Face ID or Touch ID.<\/li>
            • Choose the data transfer method \u2013 using \u201cQuick Start.\u201d<\/li>
            • Keep both phones close until the transfer is complete.<\/li><\/ul>
