I would assume they are. I can't speak to an iCloud backup, but I've
restored from an encrypted backup on my PC and my old text messages
showed up. I'd assume this would also work for iCloud backups as well.
You might want to Google the web for discussions on exactly what's
stored in an iCloud
I've restored from iCloud backups with new iPhones a couple of times
before and got all of my previous text and iMessages. If you open a
message thread and don't see all of the messages in that thread, keep
flicking through and you will find an item to show hidden messages. I
think iTunes also
Does anyone know for sure if iMessages and text messages are saved
as part of an iCloud or iTunes backup?
We are getting new phones tomorrow but my wife has lots of text messages she
doesn't want to lose. Appreciate any responses.
