To transfer your important text messages from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 8, you can use the "Move to iOS" app on your old iPhone, which will wirelessly transfer your data, including messages, to your new iPhone. Alternatively, you can use iTunes or iCloud to back up your old iPhone and then restore the backup to your new iPhone 8, which will also transfer your messages.
Many people still prefer to send text messages instead of using third-party chat apps, especially for important information. If you're getting a new iPhone and want to get rid of the old one, you might be wondering how to transfer your text messages to your computer. Fortunately, there's a free method to do this, which we'll outline in this article.
You can use a third-party free iPhone data transfer software like Qiling Mobimover Free, which allows you to transfer data from your iPhone to a computer and sync data from your old iPhone to a new iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X with iOS 11, making it easy to transfer contacts, and so on.
Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your computer, launch Qiling MobiMover, tap "Trust" on your iPhone screen, choose "Phone to PC", and click "Next".
Step 2. To export iPhone data to a computer, select the desired categories, such as messages, and choose a destination path, then click "Transfer" to initiate the transfer process.
Step 3. After the transfer process is complete, the messages will be saved as an HTML file on your computer, allowing you to view the details with a browser at any time.
You can transfer photos to the computer by selecting the category related to Photos.
