When you have both an iPhone and an iPad, you will definitely want to sync same data between them. For example, you may want to sync some iPhone photos to your iPad so that you can edit them on a larger screen. Or you may want to sync iMessges from iPad to iPhone so that you can continue chatting when you are outside. Keep reading to see how to sync iPhone and iPad easily.

Way 1. How to Sync iPhone and iPad via iCloud

iCloud is one built-in utility on iPhone and iPad to help users store data. Besides, it also can help users sync data between two iDevices. All you have to do is to turn on the sync option for specific data.

It can help you sync Photos, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Messages, etc. However, you have no choice to exclude the data that does not need to be synced. For example, if you turn on Messages in iCloud, it will help you sync all messages instead of selected ones.

Besides, you only have 5 GB of free storage space to store all your data. Predictably, the 5 GB of free space will soon run out – if you have a lot of data to sync. Or you may purchase storage plans beginning at $0.99 per month.

Steps to Sync iPhone and iPad with iCloud

1. Make sure that both iPhone and iPad are logged in with the same Apple ID. Otherwise, even if the sync button is turned on, the data will not be synced.
2. On your iPhone: Go to Settings > Tap [your name] > Tap iCloud > Turn on the option that you want to sync. If you want to sync photos, tap Photos > turn on Photo Library to make it.
3. On your iPad: Go to iCloud to turn on the sync button as you do on the iPhone.

When the device is connected to Wi-Fi network, it will sync data automatically. Please note that changes will happen everywhere: When you delete a piece of message on iPhone, it will also be deleted on iPad. If you have enough storage space, iCloud is a good choice for syncing iPhone and iPad.
