Why, when I restored by iPhone 11 iCloud text messages did some text messages come over & others didn’t?

Restore text messages Why aren’t text messages backed up, especially when they randomly disappear. It appears this is not a backup feature. I’ve tried turning messages off then turning my phone back on but the messages are still gone.

Restore just text messages from backup Is it possible to restore only text messages (iMessage) from an iPhone backup? I accidentally deleted 80% of my text messages because I did not realize that when you deleted them from the cloud, it deleted them off the phone entirely. There was no warning either. :-(

If you are using iCloud Syncing for Messages, your messages are not part of any back up.

Have you logged back into the same Apple ID on the new phone as on the old one?
