Recovering text messages from another phone

I lost a phone and need the text messages. I saved everything to my iCloud. How do I recover them?

It's not clear what this means exactly.


If you mean you saved an iPhone backup to iCloud, then the messages are on that backup, and here's how to restore the backup.

If you mean anything else, the messages are gone. They are only recoverable from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
