You have to be syncing Messages with iCloud to retrieve the messages to your new phone. If you are syncing using iCloud, on the new phone, sign into Settings/Your Name using the same Apple ID, and then go to iCloud to turn Messages syncing on. Next go to Settings/Messages and sign in with the same Apple ID.
