I'm missing a ton of pictures my husband and I had sent back and forth in our message thread. I got a new phone last year. I just noticed today when I was looking back at them. It's been since November, and I don't have my old phone. I backed the old one up with Icloud and had to buy more storage. Is there any way I can get those back?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

You could try restoring the backup, but restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a back and only restore certain files.


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
