Some Apps' data and passwords don't get transferred when you change iPhones.

Google Authenticator and Signal are among two that I found needed QR codes to transfer directly between the phones.

What are some Apps you needed to manually transfer?

Has anyone made a list or found a Wiki that would be helpful to people changing phones?

I know this has not much to do with the post but when transferring over make sure your iMessages among other iCloud data are synced to the proper email before transferring over. When I got my new phone last month my phone didn’t tell me iMessage wasn’t synced till it was already wiping it and by then it was too late. So when my phone “fully” transferred everything over I had about 2 weeks of messages saved and everything else was gone. Luckily I backed my phone up the day before on my computer just in case something liked that happened.
