Will I lose my texts if I get a new iPhone

Greetings rsfred,

Thanks for posting your question here in the Support Communities. If you receive a new iPhone you can transfer the data between the two devices and not lose your text messages.

Transfer content from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

This article has some information you can go over to help assist in transferring your data so your content is not lost when you upgrade.

Simple.

1. Make a backup using iCloud or iTunes of old iPhone

2. With the new iPhone restore from that backup.
