Option 1. Transfer Messages from iPhone to iPhone using iTunes/iCloud

The easiest way of transferring text messages to new iPhone is through Apple’s official service. You can back up the old iPhone data via iTunes or iCloud, and then restore your new iPhone from the backup. For detailed steps, please check how to Transfer content from your precious iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. However, please bear in mind that not only messages, many other data and device settings that you don’t want any more are transferred at the same time. Additionally, the iTunes/iCloud restoring removes any existed data on your new iPhone. So this method is best to use when you’re setting up a new iPhone.

Option 2. Transfer Messages from iPhone to iPhone using Third-Party Tool

If you want to transfer text messages from iPhone to iPhone without using iTunes or iCloud, then you can try third-party tool.
