You can back up the data on your old iOS device using iCloud, including the recordings in Dolby On app. However, to restore Dolby On recordings, you must perform a "Full device iCloud backup" rather than selectively syncing apps under "Apps using iCloud".
What is Full Device iCloud Backup vs Selective App Syncing?
1.Full Device iCloud Backup: This process creates a complete copy of your device, including app data, system settings, messages, photos, and recordings. When you restore this backup to a new device, it will replicate the entire environment of you old device, including Dolby On recordings.
2.Selective App Syncing: This feature allows iCloud to synchronize only specific app data (such as Contacts, Photos and Notes) across devices. However, Dolby On does not currently support this option, so it will not appear under "Apps using iCloud". As a result, Dolby On recordings can only be transferred through a Full Device iCloud Backup.
Note: The following procedure was tested on iOS 17 and iOS 18.
Step 1: Full device iCloud Backup
- Open Settings on your old iOS device.
- Tap your Apple ID at the top-> iCloud.
- Under Device Backup, tap "iCloud Backup", which will take you to the backup screen. Please refer to the attachment.
- Turn on "Back Up This iPhone".
- Tap "Back Up Now" to create a fresh backup. Please refer to the attachment.
Step 2: Set Up Your New iOS Device
- Turn on your new iOS device.
- Follow the on-screen setup instructions until you reach the Apps & Data screen.
- Select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Step 3: Restore Your Backup
- Sign in with your Apple ID and select the latest backup from your old iOS device.
- Wait for the restore process to complete. The time may vary depending on the backup size and Internet speed.
Step 4: Open Dolby On App and Verify Your Recordings
- Once the restore is complete, the Dolby On app will automatically launch on your new iOS device.
- Your recordings should appear as they were on your old iOS device.
