My text messages did not transfer to my new phone from the cloud.

How do I get them?

I upgraded from an iPhone 7 Plus to an iPhone 13

Everything was backed up to the cloud and the new phone didn't get the texts.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Retrieving Deleted Text Messages:

A. Was iCloud Messages Set Up?:

If you have Messages enabled with iCloud, then check and see if they reside in there, using another device accosted to iCloud, that has not been associated to the internet yet. That way, nothing has synced. Go Here: Set up Messages on iPhone - Apple Support

B. Any Backup of your iPhone?:

If you backed up your iPhone, then restore them from a backup that contains this message, and is of the same iOS version.
