how do I see my messages in icloud

I'm trying to confirm that my messages are backed up on icloud including their attachments (photos, videos etc.) but I can't see messages when I go to my icloud acct. Where do I look to confirm messages are being stored on icloud and how can I access them?


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

You don't. All that you mention is part of the icloud backup as outlined here What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support and it can't be viewed by going to icloud.com.


If you're wanting to be able to view on icloud you need to do this Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support please read carefully how this works and this is not part of the icloud backup.
