Why isn’t everything on my iCloud not backing up to my new phone

I’ve backup my iCloud several times and then I go to my new phone and the only thing that transferred over were my pics. Other things like apps did not. Why is this happening

iPhone 13, iOS 16

To back up my messages, do i sync to icloud or not? i’m having a lot of stress about this. how do i include my messages in my backup? that is, if i get a new phone, how would i ensure all my messages + photos are there on my new phone? would i turn off ‘sync to icloud’, in icloud for messages and photos, or would i keep it on? also, how do i check if my backups are successfully backing up my photos and messages? i really don’t want to lose any of my things. when i check my photos storage on my iphone, it’s 87 gb. but when i check it on my icloud backups, it’s 68 gb. how come this doesn’t match up? i just did a backup today. and messages doesn’t show up at all under my backup page.

Apps are neither backup on iTunes nor on iCloud. Only app data is backed up.
