Accidentally Deleted text chain

My baby grabbed the phone and deleted a text chain. My texts are supposed to be backed up to iCloud, but when I signed in, they don’t show up!


Any help is appreciated!

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hello, CatEyeCle!

The resource you used to reach out will help make sure you had Messages enabled in iCloud. If you did, you will not see this data online with iCloud. In order to recover deleted messages, you'll have to restore from an iCloud backup; however, when you take this step, it will also replace any new data with the data contained from the backup.


If you would like to restore from a backup:

Best wishes!
