how to restore Messages from iCloud

I accidentally deleted a huge message thread on my iPhone. I do have Messages on iCloud, but i don't use iCloud Backup. I can see that my Messages do take up a chunk of my current iCloud storage.


How can I restore the deleted messages from the iCloud storage?

Since you didn't back up message to icloud and you sync them to icloud, then those message are gone and can't be restored.
