Is it possible to view specific backed-up text messages from iCloud without restoring the entire backup? I accidently deleted one series of texts with one person. I imagine they are backed up in ICloud since I have it setup to automatically. I have never needed to do this, but is it at all possible to pull up backed up texts so i can review them? From what I read in another inquiry here is that you must restore all text messages from icloud to see anything. I don't want to change all the other texts I have currently (backed up or not). Is there a way around needing to restore the whole backup? Can one see it online (not phone) like a file folder of text messages? Very upsetting if a full restore is required for one little text. Thank you. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Look in the recently deleted folder in the folders list in the Messages App. Tap Edit at the top left corner and see if you have anything there.
