Recover Text Messages From Iphone On Mac
When you activated your new iPhone, you were likely prompted to restore your new iPhone from your previous iPhone's backup.
Data such as SMS messages, recent calls, call favorites, iPhone settings, notes created with the Notes application, alarms, world clock settings, cities tracked with the Weather widget, stocks tracked with the Stocks widget - basically the data not included with the iTunes sync process for your iPhone is maintained in your iPhone's backup - which is created and maintained by iTunes on your computer.
If any of this data has changed since the last sync, your iPhone's backup is updated as the very first step as part of the sync process.
At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences.
Check under the Syncing tab for your iTunes preferences.
This shouldn't be scary - unless you are unaware of this feature - which IMO is a good feature that Apple included. This is also used if you ever need to restore your iPhone. When restoring, the options are from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Text Messages For Iphone On Mac Computer

The Messages app, or sometimes called iMessage, is the default text-messaging app included on most Apple devices. As such, it should be available on your iPhone and Mac. Normally, it is only used to send messages just like instant messaging. Apple launched iMessage as an alternative to the WhatsApp-style over-the-top messengers, adding rich functionality and security, but limiting that to the Apple user community.
