A few months ago, Honor unveiled AI Connect, a technology that allows wireless file sharing between Honor and iOS devices from Apple. The company has now developed a new device cloning capability that is compatible with Huawei’s HarmonyOS Next, iOS, and Android.
To enable device cloning with devices running the three smartphone operating systems listed above, Honor has updated its Device Clone software. Through cloning, users will be able to effortlessly move data between devices without the need for extra gear or attachments.
Honor is the first brand to offer HarmonyOS Next data transmission as a result of this advancement. Users of Honor smartphones can download and install the “Device Clone” app from the official app store on both new and old devices in order to clone an old device.
Next, open the Settings menu on the new smartphone and select Device Clone. Select Updates & System > Select Device Clone. Select the “This is a new device” option. Choose the “HarmonyOS” device type.
On the old device, repeat the previous steps, but choose “This is an old device” rather than “This is a new device.” Next, link the two devices by scanning the QR code on the new device with the old one. Next, choose the data that needs to be moved to the new device and click “Next.”
