Restore old iPhone Messages

Recently my phone was crushed by a car and won't work. I got a new phone and used the iCloud backup storage which was last updated in march. Which from that I lost a lot of text messages and photos. How do I get back the conversations between these people between March through September.

Text messages from iCloud backup from old phone downloading to new phone issue and concern. HELP Backed up iPhone 6 at 3:25 PM today, then a tech helped me manually transfer my iCloud to iPhone 11 Pro then activated new phone.. Her call dropped from the old phone due to activation and I lost her help @ 4:40 PM. Texts were downloading on the new phone per the message on the bottom of the screen. But now that message is gone and I don't see all of my text message and the ones I do see are old and in random order of dates The New 11 shows it has a iCloud backup of 4:56 PM. Is iCloud still downloading in the background? or did I just loose all my text messages? All of the tech help desks are closed and I am in a panic!

Can deleted imessages be recovered from old iCloud backup? I have two iPhones that are both signed into the same iCloud, iMessage etc. I deleted some iMessage conversations from one phone, but later saw they had also been deleted from the second phone. If I restore an iCloud backup from before I deleted the messages, will the deleted messages be back? I didn't want them to be deleted from my second phone. Is there any other way I can recover them if this doesn't work?

If they were not synched to your iCloud Account, your only hope is that they were included in a recent back-up.
