There are 2 ways:
- Go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud - Messages - if it is on your messages sync to iCloud, and when you turn on the switch on the new phone they will sync
- If that switch is off then messages will be saved in backups.
Here are the full instructions for transferring to a new device ➡️ Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
