How do I transfer messages form an old iPhone to a new one?

I've just got a new iPhone, and I want to transfer messages etc. from my old one to the new one.
Can this be done, and if so how?
Duncan

The general way many people like to try is:
Step 1. Backup your old iPhone to iTunes or iCloud
Step 2. Restore your new iPhone with the backup file of the old iPhone
And there are other options as well. You can type in google "transfer text messages from old iPhone to new iPhone" to find a third-party tool.

    How do you transfer photos from an old iPhone to your new one??

    Photos in your camera roll are included in the iPhone backup, & restoring your new phone from the backup of your old phone, as described here, will restore these photos to your new phone:

    Photos synced to your phone are not included in any iPhone backup. If you're talking about photos that were synced to your old phone, just sync them to your new phone.

    There is no need to "buy" appliclations again.  You can backup your old phone to iCloud and restore the backup to the new phone.  You can also re-download them for free from the App Store.

    I understand that.  I'm curious as to what will transfer and what won't transfer via backup.  From the research I've done, texts and voice messages won't transfer but voice messages are persistent with the provider, so I won't really lose them.  What else won't transfer?  Pictures? Safari cache (i.e. saved passwords for web sites)?  Will those transfer?

  • HT201269 How do I transfer apps from my old iphone to my new one?

    I just got an iPhone 5.  I had done a backup of my iPhone 3GS.  After restoring to the new phone I do see my pictures and contacts but I'm missing all of my apps.
    How do I transfer the apps?

    Are the apps in itunes on your computer?
    The backup does not contain any itunes content.  You should always make sure that everything is on your computer. If you have failed to do this, then you will need to redownload the apps.  Open itunes store on your computer, click Purchased under Quick Links

    Thanks for getting back to me. I'm trying to follow your steps but I'll be damned if I can find how to "select all" when I'm in my contacts list. What am I missing??  Thanks again.

    Use this app My Contacts Backup on the iTunes App Store,
    It will make a vcard (.vcf) file containing your contacts and email it to the address you choose. Just import it to the iCloud account on your Mac and it will be available to all your Macs and IOS devices in iCloud.
    If you keep a copy after you import you will have a handy backup as well.

    Make a backup of the current phone, and restore the new phone from the backup.  When you do that, your new phone should be a mirror image of your old phone.

    If your computers are connected to the same network, you can turn on Sharing to allow you to see the contents of one from the other and do transfers. If there is no network, you can use "target disk mode" explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13842
    Otherwise, you will need to use external storage such as a USB flash drive.
