If you sync messages to iCloud when you delete them they are gone forever, because iCloud is a sync service, not an archive service.

If you don’t sync messages to iCloud they will be in an iCloud or iTunes backup made before you deleted them.

So my I charged up my 6S, quite easily figured out how to do it and it retrieved and downloaded them onto it. When I I bought this 11pro, she backdated the backup to insure anything I might want got included.

can I not do that on the 11pro? How do I do a forced backup?

You can restore the backup of the 6S to your 11 pro, but that will overwrite everything on the 11.
