How to get my text messages off of my iPhone 4s onto my iPhone 5s?
I just bought an iPhone 5s after the Wi-Fi on my 4s stopped working a few days ago. My new phone backed up all of the text messages I had from before I lost Wi-Fi, but it did not back up the ones after I lost Wi-Fi. I need to get the messages from the last few days I had my 4s onto my new phone but I'm not sure how to do that. Is there any way to get the messages on my 4s to my 5s without having Wi-Fi or 3G on my 4s?
Usually a backup of the old iPhone & then a restore from that backup on the new would do this. Using iTunes of course to do it.
You may try this Phone transfer. I know it can transfer the messages between your iPhone 4s and iPhone 5s. It worked fairly well for me.
- Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.
- If I turn off push messages on my iphone 4 will I still get my regular text messages? I read that turning off push messages or setting them to manually helps save battery life. I want to know if I do this will I still be able to receive my regular text messages.
- I can't send standard text messages on my iPhone 6 when I turn off cellular data? IIm not sure if IIm just being stupid about this or not, but I can't send standard text messages when I turn my cellular off. I need to cut back on my data usage, so I like to turn it off. Any ideas on what's happening?
