If you create a new Apple ID, your iMessage history will not transfer over to the new Apple ID. Your iMessage history is associated with your current Apple ID and device, so creating a new Apple ID will not retain your previous iMessage conversations.

If you want to keep your iMessage history, you can back up your device before creating a new Apple ID. This way, you can restore your iPhone from the computer backup after setting up the new Apple ID and retain your iMessage conversations.

EaseUS MobiMover can back up your iPhone to a computer, including iMessage, text messages, photos, videos, contacts, etc. It is also easy to restore the backup file. Another fantastic feature is that it enables you to transfer iCloud data to a new iCloud account or a Google account. Thus, you don't have to worry about losing data when changing your Apple ID.

How to Back Up Your iPhone Messages & Photos to PC:

Step 1. Launch EaseUS MobiMover and connect your iPhone to your PC.

Step 2. Click Backup Manager > Back Up. Select the data you want to export and back up, such as Photos, Messages, etc.

Step 3. Customize the location path to store the backup file. Click One-Click Backup to start the process.

iCloud and iTunes are also efficient tools for iPhone data backup. Keep in mind that this process may result in other data being overwritten or lost, so it is important to follow the backup and restore instructions carefully. If you are concerned about overwriting data, try another method to back up your iPhone instead. Then, let's take iTunes as an example:
