Hi folks, not sure if ‘clean setup’ is the right expression, but anyway… I’ve been sporting an iPhone X for 6 years and tomorrow I get my new iPhone 15 Pro. I was thinking of setting it up clean in the sense of manually adding my apps, email data etc, and not doing a simple transfer from the old iPhone.

Maybe it doesn’t make sense to do it, maybe it does. I thought it could make sure there isn’t any residual crap from the old phone, but to be honest I don’t have any data to 100% assert that. Have any of you started with a phone replacement this way, or do you consider it pointless? If you have done it, any tips?

All opinions welcome, thanks!

    Make sure WhatsApp backup is turned on. That’s one thing I always make sure is done as you’ll not be able to login to your old phone to get the chats
