Recover deleted messages on iPhone from iCloud backup

If 30 days have elapsed and there’s no possibility of recovering your deleted text messages on your iPhone, your next best alternative is to use an iCloud backup.

Follow the following steps to recover deleted messages using iCloud backup:

• Head to Settings
• Tap on your Apple ID card at the top
• Select iCloud
• Now choose Manage Storage, and then Backups
• Opt for the right backup
