Method 1 How to Recover iMessage from iCloud on iPhone, PC, or Mac?

Restoring iMessage to the iPhone is a challenge for many users. Backup and recovery of relevant data from iCloud or iTunes can help improve users' iMessages experience. It is important to note that make sure that the backup you choose contains the iMessage you deleted earlier. However, there are some drawbacks to restoring iMessages from an iCloud backup to an iPhone, which is that users can't preview the imessages data in it.

Therefore, exercise caution when restoring iMessage to avoid unnecessary data loss.

On how to restore iMessages from the iCloud backup itself to the iPhone/iPad, you just have to complete the following steps.

Step 1 Choose "Settings" > "General" > "Delete All Content and Settings". This step will remove all details on your device, so you must.
