Restore only iMessages from iCloud Backup
Good day Community,
As opposed to wiping the new iPhone via a Restore from Backup action, in iOS 13 is it possible to restore or copy or deliver only iMessages to a new iPhone?
A DuckDuckGo search brings up plenty third-party software tools that propose to accomplish this, but I would rather not permit third-party apps such access.
I figured out how to "restore" Contacts by selecting all and sending via iMac Airdrop.
Is there a similar iOS or OS X based workaround for iMessages?
TIA
