If an iPhone user decides to get a new one, or an Android user who wants to switch over to the iOS side, there's no need to fuss. Here's a nifty technique that will help you transfer your "Pokemon Go" account and everything on it, to a new iPhone.
For most people, there might be a bit of reason to be stressed when it comes to getting a new phone, the trouble of setting it up, re-downloading apps, syncing contacts etc. But for "Pokemon Go" users, which make up a huge chunk of today's population, their biggest concern is having to start all over again.
From capturing a new roster of "Pokemon", to losing all of your hard-earned "Pokecoins", and taking over a new set of "Pokemon Gyms", it can be a hassle to lose all of your "Pokemon Go" data.Though, thanks to Lory Gil of iMore, "Pokemon Go" users no longer need to worry about getting a new iPhone, with this transfer guide.
The first step when transferring a "Pokemon Go" account to a new iPhone, is to make sure that players remember their Google or Pokemon Trainer Club account, that they used to sign up for the game. Players can see the account name when signing out by simply tapping the "PokeBall" icon, head to Settings, and the account name will be beside the Sign Out bar.
Once players have confirmed their account name, they may now log in on their new iPhone. After downloading the "Pokemon Go" app, players will only have to log in using the Google or Pokemon Trainer Club account name, and all of their "Pokemon Go" progress will be there, in tact.
If "Pokemon Go" players decide to get the new iPhone 7, which will be released on September 7, according to Bloomberg, they can easily transfer all of their "Pokemon Go" data, without worrying of having to start all over again.
