How can I sync texts between my two iPhones?

I have two devices with the same iTunes/Apple account but different phone numbers … I have an iPhone 11 (work) and an iPhone 13 Pro Max (personal) … occasionally some of the texts to&from the phone number on the iPhone 11 will pop up in the texts on the 13 pro max and vica versa … but it only does it randomly and it only does a few of the texts … how can I have ALL of the texts to&from the iPhone 11 (work) also show up on the iPhone 13 Pro Max (personal)? But I don’t want the messages to&from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to show up on the iPhone 11 (work) …..is this possible?

On iPhone 11 (work) = show texts just from this device/number

On iPhone 13 Pro Max (personal) = show texts from BOTH devices/numbers

You should use a Sleep Focus on your personal phone when you sleep. I have my focus set up to turn on at 11 PM every night and turn off at 7:00 in the morning. I get no notification sounds during those hours.

See how to do that here --> Turn on or schedule a Focus on iPhone - Apple Support

The best you can do is open Settings > Apps > Messages > Send & Receive - choose which numbers you want message to be received from and started from.

Better yet, is there a way for me to go to iCloud or something and see the messages from the other phone? Because I actually think I prefer it that way so my personal phone isn't going off all night.
