So the S24+ data was finally finished transferring overnight.  My text messages were not transferred from my old device.

How can I move them now?

@Pointmasteriam You can restart Smart Switch. Select Custom when it allows you to choose which type of transfer. Turn off everything except your messages. Proceed with the transfer and it will only transfer your messages.

Check both Samsung and Google messaging apps after the transfer.  I did not see an option for what to transfer them into, and all of my texts from my old device went into Samsung Messages, despite having Google messages as the default at the time.
