marie009, we know the feeling of wanting to have your latest messages on your new phone also. I want get to the bottom of this. The only way to restore messages from your previous Android phone to your new iPhone is if you were using the Verizon Messages application. If you were, you’ll just need to download the Verizon Messages app from the App store. If you were using a different messaging application on your Android phone, it’s not possible to restore your messages from your older phone.

Actually the Verizon messages app didn't restore none of my messages when I tried that method. I used the move to iOS app to get my messages. I used content transfer for my pictures. I thought the messages app would work also but it didn't. Maybe something that needs fixed?
