Does a backup restored to a new phone transfer my existing iMessage threads?

I want to transfer my existing messages that are on my old 5c to a new 6 I am getting. Will I be able to scroll through old messages on my 6 that I sent on my 5c?

iPhone 5c, iOS 8.3

Greetings jbrechbiel,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand that you would like to restore your conversations in Messages from your old iPhone to your new iPhone. Your messages will restore to your new device from a backup of your previous iPhone regardless if you used iCloud or iTunes to create that backup. The attached article provides more information about iOS backups.

Cheers,
