Why do I have an option of backing up my messages in my icloud, but yet I can’t get into them when I sign into my iCloud account. They have to be there somewhere because when I got a new phone, I downloaded all of the messages on to my new phone from my cloud.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Although stored in iCloud and synced from iCloud, messages are neither visible or accessible in iCloud.
