How do you view your messages in iCloud?


Does apple support users trying to view their own message files in their iCloud? I would like to do view them without having to pay for a third-party app to extract a conversation.


I currently use macOS Mojave.

I knew of the way which you keep scrolling up and the messages update. However, it stopped updating when I hit about Mar 2019 (which is still impressive nonetheless) and I wanted to go back to Dec 2018.


There isn't a complete file that can be produced to review the entire conversation? Such as, the message log sent on my MacBook's iMessage app, that saves into a folder in my hard drive; After the conversation had been closed.
