Deleted texts

My phone automatically backs up to the cloud on a regular basis. How do I retrieve accidentally deleted text messages? I had my text messages set to never expire. I need texts from years back i had been saving.


Thanks

iPhone XR, iOS 13

If you were using message in iCloud - Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support, and it sounds like you were, and you deleted those messages, then they are gone.
