Several month ago, I sent a text messages to my friend using my wife’s iPhone 6. However, we’re separated now and the phone is no longer with me, so retrieving it from that phone is not an option. Luckily, it was backed up and I can access her iCloud account, is there a better way to get back only messages as the data I want is very important. Thanks!!!
For many reasons, we’re not allowed to access our iOS device due to all kinds of scenarios, like iPhone disabled, water damaged, or even worse, get stolen. Even if you’ve synced or stored your data in iCloud or iTunes before, Apple doesn't provide any service for backup downloading, except for restoring the whole backup to your iOS device.
