I just upgraded from an iPhone 6-Plus to an iPhone 7-Plus. I saved everything to "the cloud" and spent something silly like 20 frigging hours transferring everything from the 6 to the 7.
BUT ... my text messages did not transfer. I hit my old buddy Google and it appears that's just how these things work. WTF??? I see a few programs you can plop $30 or so down to buy a program to do it, but that sounds stupid to me, Surely Apple didn't "f"-up and not afford a way to do this, so I hope there's a way to transfer text messages! I want to get this done so I can wipe my old phone clean and sell it, but right now I'm on hold until I can figure this out. I have some important texts (a ton of 'em) that I need to save as they could be needed in a (possible) future lawsuit. If I could simply print them, I wouldn't necessarily need to transfer them to my new phone. I could do screen shots and email them to myself, then print them, but that would be super time consuming. Anyone?
