Two text messages came in while I was finishing an upgrade from an iphone X to an iphone 13 pro. Everything else transferred over except those two texts, but they are important and I need them on my new phone. How can I move them over? I wasn't using icloud to back up text messages on my old phone. I restored new phone from a back up, but the missing texts came in during the two minutes that imessage was live on both phones.
Hello jtb_slc,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you missed two text messages when you transferred to your new iPhone. Congratulations on that new iPhone 13 Pro! We'll do our best to assist.
There are a few ways you could accomplish this goal. One you could ask the senders to copy/paste their last message and send it to you again.
Another option would be to copy these messages into a email and send them to yourself that way. You'd copy the texts and open a new email, then paste it inside and send it to yourself.
Those would be the easier methods, opposed to restoring again from the other iPhone just for those specific messages. If you decided on that method anything communicated from that last back up date to now would be lost, as well.
Hoping it helps out, take care.
