iCloud does save your two most recent backups, it each day, the previous one is overwritten, so today you would have access to yesterday’s backup and the backup from the day before.


This is assuming that you backup with iCloud every day. The only way that you can see both backups is by erasing the device in order to restore the backup. You don’t see both backups in the settings.


Look at this discussion.

Yes, but I am not sure if it was before the messages disappeared.

I dont know if the messages where deleted or what happened, I just realised that a part of a conversation was missing. But I guess I accidentaly deleated it.

can I see all the times its been backed up on ICloud or just the most recent one?

If it wasn't turned on before you deleted the message, and you have a backup from then, then yes, you can restore from the backup. Just ask yourself how important these messages are to restore your phone to a date from before you started syncing messages in the cloud?
