How to Sync an iPhone and iPad

One of the first things you should do to make sure all your Apple devices are talking to each other is to sync your iPhone and iPad. This can be done quickly via iCloud. To begin, head over to the Settings app on any of the two devices and click on your name at the top to open the Apple ID menu. Tap iCloud and turn on toggle switches for everything you want to be synced between your iPhone and your iPad. Then, repeat the same process with your other device.
Note that this process can only work if 1) you’ve enabled the same toggle switches on both devices and 2) logged into the same Apple ID on both devices.
