I accidentally clicked on a prompt to offload messages in iMessage on my older iPhone, which has limited storage. Now, I can't access any of the older photos or files in my iMessage threads, although it says they're stored in iCloud. I'm planning to get a new iPhone with more storage soon, and I'm wondering if there's a way to reverse this offloading process or if I can restore my old photos once I back up the new phone. Any advice?

Yes, you should be able to restore your old iMessages and attached photos once your new phone is set up with your iCloud account. Just ensure you've got enough space and make sure the iCloud message syncing is turned on. On your new iPhone, check 'Settings' > '[your name]' > 'iCloud' > 'Messages' to confirm it's enabled!
If you offloaded your iMessage messages, they should remain stored in iCloud. When you get your new iPhone and set it up, you should sign in with your Apple ID, which should help retrieve those old messages and photos from iCloud once the backup is complete. Just make sure that iCloud is enabled for messages in your settings when you set up the new phone!
