Can I choose which things I want to transfer to my new iphone from iCloud backup?
I want to move over much but not all of my iCloud backup to my new phone. Will I be able to pick and choose?

Hey there Bluecat2020,
Prior to creating a backup, you can choose what content is included. To do this, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Show All. Enable or disable items you see here and continue with the backup by taking these steps:
1. Go to Settings> [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.
2. Turn on iCloud Backup.
iCloud automatically backs up your iPhone daily when iPhone is connected to power, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.
Note: On models that support 5G, your carrier may give you the option to back up iPhone using your cellular network. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, then turn on or off Backup Over Cellular.
3. To perform a manual backup, tap Back Up Now.
Take care!
