transfer taking way too long

For the past 7 hours I've been trying to get my new iPad to finish transferring from my iPhone SE. I've contacted Apple support twice and was told it could take all night!

I'll need my phone tomorrow morning.....what happens if I just take my phone and interrupt the "Finish"..does it start all over again when I return and place the phone by the iPad?

This is too frustrating because I honestly don't have a tom of photos, have some music but not an overwhelming amount...anyone else having this issue?

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

Hello mariannefromtallahassee,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It's understandable wanting to transfer information to your iPhone. We'll do what we can to answer your questions and help.

Interrupting the process will not move everything over and would need to be started again: Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Take care!
