Thanks for reaching out, Heidijane10.


It sounds like you have some questions about Quick Start and transferring data to a new iPhone. We can definitely help.


You can Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you'll still need to Finish setting up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch restore from an iCloud backup to transfer the rest of your content and data.


You do have other options besides Quick Start. You can Restore or set up your device from an iCloud backup, or Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup using Finder/iTunes.


Give those steps a try, and see if there is any improvement.


Take care.
