how to move SMS messages from Android to Apple after initial setup

I just bought an iphone 13. I am trying to transfer my SMS content from my Google Pixel to to my iPhone. I can't use the Move to IOS because I've already set up so much on my iPhone already. I just want the messages now. Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities 4everRandB,


We see that you're trying to transfer your data from your Android phone to your new iPhone. We can understand wanting to have your data on your iPhone, and we'd be happy to help.


We noticed that you came to us from the article titled "Move content manually from your Android device to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch". If you are moving content manually, you would not be able to move messages to your new iPhone. However, if you follow the steps in the resource below and download the app from the Google Play Store, you should be able to move over your messages.
