Hi, Mikala64,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 13! If we understand, after transferring data from your iPhone 8 to the iPhone 13, your SMS text messages have not shown up. We are happy to help.
First, if you utilized Messages in iCloud, make sure that feature is enabled under Settings > [your name] > iCloud. If you're not sure if you were using this feature and still have access to your previous iPhone, you can check under the same settings menu.
If you still need help after that, please let us know the following information:
- Are you missing messages from everyone, or just some contacts?
- If just some contacts, are they all other Apple users, all non-Apple users, or a mixture of both?
- How did you transfer your data? Example: Quick Start, iCloud/computer backup.
- What is the currently installed iOS version on your iPhone 13? Example: iOS 15.1.1. You can find this under Settings > General > About.
Best!
