Terraria iOS: how to get my old world back?

Question

I rather recently got a new phone, and it has all of the same information as my old iPhone. However, I had to completely start over on terraria because I can't get my world on my new phone. Keep in mind that on my old phone (which doesn't work), I didn't have the world on cloud save. I have Game Center set up and everything. Is there a way to recover this world?

Answer 1

There are no ways to recover your world, unless it was on cloud save, or the old device is working.

If it was on cloud save:

Just download back your save.

If the old device is working:

Switch the save to a cloud save, or move the files of your save through a file management tool like iFunbox or iExplorer etc.

If you are on Android, the data directory is data/data/com.and.games505.Terraria/files or data/data/com.and.games505.TerrariaPaid/files

You'll need a root capable file explorer (and have your phone rooted) on both your devices in order to be able to access it.

If you have a backup of the old device:

Install that backup to a device (don't forget to backup that device first!), move the save files out of the device using a file management tool like iFunbox or iExplorer etc., then install the backup of the device you took before installing the backup, and move the save files back in.
