Sign into Settings/Your Name using the same Apple ID and then turn iCloud syncing on. The sync is very, very slow. The photos sync is extremely slow. It could take several days or more for the photos to sync.


Then go to Messages/FaceTime and sign in. Add the phone number/email addresses you were using in Messages on the XR.
