does icloud backup voicemail from iphone SE

Sorry but it’s Difficult to understand from documents.


1) When my iphone SE backs up to Icloud, are voicemails automatically backed up?


2) do i need to do anything in “Settings” to automatically include voicemails to Icloud backup?

(i may have inadvertently changed icloud settings, so I ask.)

I need specific instructions for Settings.


Bonus question:

3) Anyone know if Verizon Cloud backs up voicemail? And is it automatically included in a Verizon Cloud backup?


Thank you!!!

Hello iphoneSEuser3,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you have a question about whether voicemails are included in an iCloud backup. I would be happy to help provide more information to consider.


In most cases, just the password to your Visual Voicemail is included in an iCloud backup. The voicemails themselves are usually stored on your carriers server. This is done automatically and there's not a specific settings to enable. You can learn more about what's included in an iCloud backup here:

If you're wanting to save a copy of a voicemail, you can do that following the steps in the resource below:

As far as Verizon Cloud including voicemails in the backup, you'll want to reach out to Verizon for confirmation. Their Voicemail FAQs page indicates that you may need to use a third-party service to save a permanent copy before the voicemail is deleted from Verizon servers:
