Did we mention that this software is easy to use? We kid you not---it literally takes three steps to help you selectively restore a backup from your iCloud. Here is how you can transfer data to iPhone 13 selectively:

Step 1: Choose Recovery Mode

Connect your new iPhone 13 to your computer using a USB cable and launch the program. On the welcome window, select the "Recover from iCloud Synced Files" mode located in the left panel. You will be prompted to log into your iCloud account (refer to picture below).

Note: you will need to key in your login details but Dr.Fone will not keep a record of your Apple login details or the content of your iCloud storage during any session. Therefore, you can be assured that your privacy will not be compromised.

Step 2: Download the backup file from iCloud

Once you have cleared the login process into your iCloud account, the program will scan all available iCloud synced files in storage. Select the iCloud synced files that contains all the information you want to restore and click the "Download" button.

You will then be prompted to select the file types you would like to download from the iCloud synced files. This will be useful in reducing the download time of the iCloud synced files. Once you are happy with your selection, click the "Next" button to prompt the program to look for the relevant files. This will take a few minutes.

Step 3: Preview and recover data from the desired iCloud backup file

After the program has finished scanning, you will be able to have a sneak peek of almost all files in your iCloud backup file. You will be able to actually see the content of a document or PDF file, the contact details (phone numbers, email address, profession etc.) in your address book or the content of the SMS you have kept by highlighting the filename. If it is something that you want, check the box next to the filename. Once you have ticked all the files you wanted, click on the "Recover to your device" button to save them on your new iPhone 13.

To ensure that the recovery process is successful, ensure that the connection between the iPhone 13 and the computer is not interupted. Avoid leaving the cable vulnerable to accidental (or not so accidental) trips.
