Switching from Android to iPhone, from iPhone to new iPhone is very easy. But the important text messages on old phone will be hard to transfer to another phone. But where there's a will, there's a way. Here, we will discuss five ways to transfer SMS from Android to iPhone, from iPhone to iPhone, from iPhone to computer and from iPhone to Mac.
If your iPhone storage is full, and the messages app is full of text messages, but you do not want to delete them. At that point, you can consider backing up the text messages from iPhone to computer. iPhone Data Recovery is the exact tool.

Highly compatible with iOS 17, you can sync the text messages on your new iPhone 7 to PC with simple clicks.
