Is there a way to restore missing messages on my iPhone FROM my MAC?

Some text messages from my iPhone 8 plus have disappeared. They still show up on my MAC. Is there any way I can restore them to my iPhone?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Are you using iCloud Messages? If not, the only way to restore messages that are not on the iPhone is to restore the iPhone to a backup that was made when the messages were on the iPhone. Realize, that will delete everything done on the iPhone since the backup was made.
