Hi gita22

Backing up the old phone with iCloud or iTunes will also back up messages.
You can then restore the new phone from that backup.

Hi
If your old phone was an iPhone go to settings iCloud back up now .
Then when you set up new iPhone use the same apple ID / password
When it says use backup from iCloud say yes then all apps /data will be on new iPhone .
Cheers
Brian
