There is no way to transfer text into the Messages app on the iPhone, because the internal storage formats are different between the 2 platforms. What you can do is save the messages to a portable format such as PDF on the Android side, and keep that as an archive on the iPhone.

Thank Lawrence,

I managed to get some of the texts to migrate from Android phone to iPhone, but only the ones that were from my previous migration from old iphone to Xperia, the Xperia texts would not migrate, thanks for your advice.
