Hi all, I think I deleted my iMessages on my iPhone 11 by mistake. Didn’t worry because I cloud back up is on, even for the iMessages.

jumped to my Mac book and saw that the messages are disappeared. Same happens to my iPad.

restored iPhone 8 to get the messages from older iPhone back up and later from 2 older iPhone 11 back up. Still didn’t help to see my iMessages.

now restored my iPhone 11 to an older version . Didn’t help

in all cases iCloud back up is on..

cam anybody help?

If you deleted messages on one device and they disappeared on all devices, that sounds like you iCloud Messages turned on. If you look in iCloud in Settings on the iPhone, is Messages turned on? If so, once you delete the Messages, they are gone, permanently. They are not backed up in iCloud.
