I did it this way: iCloud Messages: Go to Settings > Your Name > iCloudand toggle on Messages. Log in to the account on a new phone to see your messages.

I didn't see the "Show All" tab for the apps using iCloud at first but after I did I simply toggled the messages app to on in the new iPhone and it started syncing all the old text messages from the cloud to my phone.
