Probably you did not transfer messages (Because there is no transfer feature) you synced your messages with iCloud.


Now if you have deleted messages on your old iPhone which was synced to iCloud then it surely would have warned you that the messages will be deleted on all devices and iCloud.


Delete a message or conversation

When you delete a message or conversation, you can't get it back. So make sure that you save important information from your messages.
