I just restored my iPad Air 3rd gen from an iPhone 7 iCloud backup iOS 13.5.1 and, though it worked with initial data transfer, there was no option to complete the transfer directly from iPhone. Also, when the iCloud backup was complete, none of my folders of apps were there on the iPad, just the individual apps scattered over several pages. So, a puzzling mixed bag! Harry
