How do I download messages from ICloud storage back onto my11pro that were deleted 11/24/20 by mistake?

Hi do I retrieve accidentally deleted messages from iCloud storage so they are back on my message thread for viewing?

If you sync messages to iCloud when you delete them they are gone forever, because iCloud is a sync service, not an archive service.


If you don’t sync messages to iCloud they will be in an iCloud or iTunes backup made before you deleted them.
