View messages on lost iPhone

Hello jimmyhoff23,

Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about messages on your lost device. We're happy to provide some information about this.

If you are using Messages in iCloud, when you log back in using the same Apple ID, your Messages will repopulate on your new device. Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support

If you are not using Messages in iCloud, when you get your new device, restore your backup, and you should see any messages from the date of your backup. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

These are the only options available to help if you lose a device. Thanks.
