How to Access Text Messages on iCloud

Q:” I lost my iPhone 6s yesterday, and I am so upset. Now the only thing I care about is the messages on my Phone, and I do use iCloud backup, the question is how can I access my text messages on iCloud?”

Solution: Generally speaking, we cannot access the text messages on iCloud by simply logging into iCloud online. If you have another iPhone, you can try restoring from an iCloud backup, which will bring back your messages but can cause the erase of the existed data. Another option is to use an iCloud Backup Extractor like AnyTrans, which enables you to access the iCloud backup, even view and download the iCloud text messages to the computer without hassle.
