Link a new device

Same iCloud account: automatic

If the new device uses the same iCloud account, Dion finds your existing backup automatically — during onboarding you'll see it check iCloud and offer to connect. Approve it and your sources, progress, and settings come down on their own.

Different account, or manual linking

Any device can be linked directly from one that's already connected:

1. On the connected device, open Settings → Backup → Link Backup. It shows a QR code and a PIN with an expiry countdown (the screen brightens to make scanning easier).
2. On the new device, choose Scan QR Code and point the camera at the code — or Enter PIN and type it (the way to go on Apple TV).
3. The first device confirms with Device Approved, and the new one shows Backup Linked. Both now share the same backup.

Manage connected devices

Settings → Backup lists every device on the backup with when it was last opened.

• Remove a device by swiping on it — it loses access and must be linked again to reconnect. Do this if you sell or lose a device.
• Disconnect Backup makes the current device leave and continue with its own separate backup; your other devices keep the current one.
