My text messages aren’t showing up on my new phone and I backed up everything before I switched over. Help!

I just got a new iPhone and my text messages didn’t transfer over. I made sure everything was backed up before I switched. How can I get them? I still have the other phone

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

If you were syncing Messages with iCloud on the old phone, have you set that up on the new phone? If youweren't have you restored from a backup?
