Clean start for my 6S, but want to keep Health and message history

so i’ve been bouncing between iphone models few months try different sizes, , decided land on 6s. on each transition, backed current phone , restored new phone backup. gather, can lead random problems. don’t know if it’s due ios11, i’m having issues phone freezes 5-10 seconds , goes normal.

long story short, i’m considering reset , not restoring backup give phone clean start. however, i’d carry on activity/health data aw, , lesser extent, keep message history. searches, can’t tell if possible. have experience doing this?

sorry if asked , answered before. searching forums produces lot of random results didn’t seem apply. can provide!

 

well, did reset. tell, long unpaired aw before reset, backup of activity data made. couldn’t find restoring messages, wasn’t concerned since @ least still on mac if needed them reference.

after resetting iphone. set new device. once , running re-paired aw. never prompted me restore backup thought would, fortunately activity history returned after done pairing. did have configure watch faces again, wasn’t bad. messages gone, said, live that.
