I recently traded my iPhone 6 for an iPhone 6 Plus. While the devices were in transit I used a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Is it possible to restore my iPhone 6 Plus from the iCloud backup for my iPhone 6 but transfer text messages over using the Move to iOS app? From what I have been able to tell it seems like it is one or the other but I was hoping someone had a better idea.
