How to back up iPhone games and transfer game scores to another iOS device?

Whether you are an Angry Birds aficionado or a Clash of Clans addict, follow this quick guide to back up any iPhone game along with game progress to your PC. You can then transfer the backed-up games and scores to another iPhone via CopyTrans Apps. The method is independent from iTunes and iCloud backup and is compatible with all iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

Click on one of the below options depending on what you’d like to do:

Transfer iOS games and scores to another iPhone or iPad

CopyTrans Apps also allows you to transfer iOS games that you previously backed-up to another iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and to restore the game scores.

NEW DEVICE

If you just bought a new iPhone and want to transfer all games with scores along with the settings, photos and other content from the old iPhone, use the free CopyTrans Shelbee instead. Download CopyTrans Shelbee
