You do back up your iPhone, right? If not, when your iPhone no longer functions, you will lose everything on it - photos, texts, contacts, etc.

If your iPhone was never backed up, those messages are gone.

I do not know if my messages are housed in iCloud. I’ve gone to iCloud.com and there are no options to select text messages. So you are saying they are stored in my iPhone back up? I have no idea what that means😞. A job depends on finding these for text messages in November. I would appreciate if you could really be gentle and help me a little bit more

The last back up is 4 AM this morning. And iCloud automatically backs up. But thank you for that information I did not know that.



You seem smart. This phones been backed up since I got it which is over a year ago. The text messages that were deleted was probably the end of October to beginning of November there’s only two. Do you think that I can get them back?
