I am switching from a Samsung Galaxy s6 to an iPhone X and want to transfer my SMS and MMS to the new phone.
should be easy? not so much, every method I have tried seems to have one problem or another.
I first tried the Apple app, "move to iOS" which is designed for this purpose. it transferred my messages but added an extra phone number to each of the group messages. I can't figure out how to remove this extra number (it's actually my phone number).
