How can I restore a deleted text message?

I accidentally deleted a message today. I have messages set to back up to iCloud. How can I get that message back? Apple Support is telling me on the phone that there is no possible way! Help!

It's not possible.


if you did not sync your messages to iCloud you could restore an older backup from a computer that had the message.

That would restore all the messages on the backup but then you would lose any new messages.


But other than that there would be no way.
