How to locate and download entire iMessage History for a certain number / contact? How to locate and download entire iMessage History for a certain number / contact? Or the entire message history for all the iMessages? How about the message history with the numbers that are not using iPhones (non-iMessage)? I assume this will be easier to do on a Mac when the iCloud backup and sync is on, as in my case, rather than trying it on the iPhone. Thanks

My iMessage History is gone. My iMessage history is gone even though I have my messages set on save forever. I have more than enough data. How do I retrieve the old messages from my icloud back onto my phone?
