How do I view my text messages in iCloud? I’m trying to view texts that are deleted off my phone but they should be saved in my iCloud right?

You don’t understand. You cannot see your messages in iCloud. Furthermore, once you delete them from your device, they are also deleted from iCloud.

No. If you are syncing text messages with iCloud, when you delete them from your device, you delete them from iCloud as well. iCloud is a syncing service. It is not off device storage.

Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support


Here's how it works
Messages in iCloud are updated automatically, so you always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. When you delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices. And since all of your attachments are stored in iCloud, you can save space on your device.
