Greetings LucylouR,

 

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

 

I understand that you need to restore your iPhone and are concerned about your messages. When you restore your iPhone from your iPhone’s backup, your messages will be restored. The only scenario where your messages would not be restored from a backup is if you restore an iOS device from a different type of iOS device, for example restore an iPhone from an iPad backup.
