Hello Cbe10,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
We understand from your post that you would like to see messages from an old iPhone. If you previously created a backup file of your old iPhone, you may be able to recover the messages. Please note that restoring a backup file will replace the content you currently have on your iPhone with the content of the backup file. This article will help you look to see if you have any backups of your old iPhone:
