It is to save a snapshot of your iOS device in case it is lost or damaged. There is no need, for this purpose, for iCloud backup to include a snapshot of your messages if they are stored in iCloud Messages as that would be redundant and waste iCloud storage space. | |

| Jan 7, 2019 at 20:41 | comment | added | user316478 | Surely it is possibly to recover them. I pay for iCloud Backup and this service is “Messages in iCloud” so surely the messages are backed up (somewhere) and can be restored, otherwise what am I paying for? | |
