So my son recently deleted a text thread that I was needing to keep. My last backup was a few weeks ago because I was out of storage. I have since backed up my phone but I am wondering if I am able to go to a backup from before the text thread was deleted to bring those texts back. I have actually successfully done this before but the issue is I am wanting to keep all of the photos I have taken since that backup I am trying to go back to. If they are backed up to iCloud will I lose them if I restore my iPhone to a previous backup?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

If you had messages in iCloud turned on Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support and those messages were deleted, then they are permanently gone. If that feature wasn't turned on, you can restore from a backup -- Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support.
