Does iCloud backup save unread messages?

Hi guys, I’m going to switch my old iPhone to a new iPhone and of course I’m doing an iCloud backup and the messages are including on backup, but I have a question; if I have like 787 unread messages like conversations I didn’t enter - will the iCloud backup/Quick Start method will save them as well? And not only the messages that I read?

iPhone SE, iOS 12

Please note that iCloud only backs up messages if you are not using iCloud syncing for messages.

Either restoring from a back up or syncing the messages to the new phone should capture all the messages, regardless of status.
