Yes, everyone knows that messages are stored in the iCloud backup. Read the entire thread.


You still have no clue. Backing up to iCloud and restoring the backup to the phone have nothing to do with syncing with iCloud as you recommend. They are entirely different processes and not just "a wrong word." Messages are stored with the rest of the backup and not automatically "uploaded." The OP would have to specifically back up to iCloud, and restore the backup, not just "use" it.


I suggest you read the article you referenced. While your at it, read the entire thread you're posting in, which has been dormant for months and already anwered.

Now iCloud enables users to recover files, contacts, calendars and reminders from iCloud backups directly. It's a great news to many iPhone users.

If you have not synced iPhone data to iCloud previously, don't worry because you can still have chance to get them back as long as you have iTunes backup

files or iPhone Data Recovery.

If you want to restore iPhone with iTunes, please get your iTunes backup files ready.

If you want to recover deleted iMessages from your device directly, you can scan them and preview and recover them with the tool.
