I recently discovered that my boyfriend deleted all my messages without telling me. This happened a couple of months ago, and I found out just yesterday. All the messages I had saved before mid-September are gone, and I'm devastated since they included important conversations with family and friends. My phone has been set to back up to iCloud, and while I'm not logged into my account on any other device, I'm hoping there's a way to get my messages back. Any advice on how to restore these?

Unfortunately, once messages are deleted from iCloud, they don’t really come back. If you have a backup of your iPhone from before they were wiped, you could factory reset your phone and restore from that backup. However, keep in mind you’d lose anything added after that backup. It'll be a risk, but it could recover your messages if they’re in there!
Just to clarify, by backup, you mean a backup saved on your computer or iTunes, right?
