iPhone paused message

I just got a new phone and everything transferred over ok except in my text messages I keep getting a message that says uploading to iPhone paused, Plug in and turn on WiFi. When I do the message still won’t go away. I’m receiving texts fine. Please help. Thank you.

Do exactly what it says. Plug your iPhone to electrical power and connect it to a WiFi network. If you cannot leave your iPhone connected to power for extended periods of time then you can set it up at night before you go to sleep. Your iPhone will begin uploading after a few minutes after plug in to power and connection to WiFi.
