Does anyone know if it's possible to restore a backup from a newer iPhone to an older iPhone? I'm trying to retrieve a voicemail from a loved one who just passed but I don't want to lose my current messages, photos, etc on the phone I currently use. (Also, I've already checked my "deleted voicemail messages" folder.) Thanks for your help!
iPhone X, iOS 13

Restoring a backup to your phone is a destructive process meaning it will overwrite current content.
A restore is meant to bring your phone back to the state it was on the date of creation and will NOT merge with current content.
