Data that can be cloned by HUAWEI Phone Clone/Tablet Clone

System version requirements: Phone Clone/Tablet Clone only supports data transfer between HUAWEI phones/tablets running HarmonyOS 2.0/Android 7.0/EMUI 5.0/MagicUI 4.0.0 or later and iPhones running iOS 11 or later. There may be data compatibility issues with earlier versions.

Device requirements: Only HUAWEI phones/tablets can be used as new phones/tablets (that is, data receivers) during Phone Clone/Tablet Clone. Non-HUAWEI phones/tablets (including new HONOR phones/tablets) cannot receive data.

App data refers to the data stored under the system path (data/data), not app data created and saved on the internal storage card or SD card, such as downloaded media files.

You can clone contacts, messages, call logs, calendar events, Gallery, music, and documents between the PrivateSpace on the old device and the PrivateSpace on the new device.

Only images, audio, videos, and documents on the SD card can be transferred.

Data of twin apps: Photos, videos, and other data in twin apps, such as the twin app of WeChat, which can only be transferred when the twin app is transferred.

Lock screen password and fingerprint data: Such data is advanced privacy information and is stored in a special safe zone. Therefore, the data cannot be accessed by Phone Clone or Tablet Clone and therefore cannot be transferred.

Theme and Health app data.

Account data: Data in sub-user and guest accounts cannot be cloned in earlier Phone Clone versions.

1. Cloning will overwrite the existing data in the apps such as WeChat, Clock, Weather, and home screen settings.

2. The following data will not be overwritten after cloning, such as contacts, SMS messages, call logs, calendar events, notes, and images. That is, cloning adds data that is not included before.

Contacts, messages (SMS and MMS), call logs, calendar (events), images, audio (including music, recordings by Recorder, and call recordings), videos, documents, and applications (excluding associated data).

Contacts, calendar events, and photos and videos taken using the pre-installed camera app. Other data and apps cannot be cloned. To transfer app data, it is recommended that you check whether the app supports data transfers on the corresponding settings screen. For example, WeChat supports chat history migration, and you can open the app and go to Me > Settings > General > Chat History Migration & Backup to migrate its chat history.
