FAQs & Answers
- Can I restore only my messages from an iCloud backup? No, iCloud backups restore your entire device data, including messages, settings, apps, and other content. Selective restore of only messages is not supported through iCloud.
- What should I do if my messages are not included in the iCloud backup? Make sure that Messages is enabled in iCloud backup settings. If not enabled, back up your device again with Messages included, then perform the restore.
- Will restoring from iCloud delete current data on my iPhone? Yes, restoring from an iCloud backup requires erasing your iPhone completely before restoring the backup data, so current data not included in the backup may be lost.
