How to backup text messages in iCloud?

Hello everyone,
Just before the release of the latest iOS upgrade, i want to know whether we can actually backup the text messages on iCloud or we need to do any third party installations to do the process. I have a lot of text messages that are need to be retrived back after the upgrade.
Thanks

Those settings only reflect the things you have the option not to include in the backup, not everthing that is backed up.  This article explains what is backed up:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859.  You will not that is says, in part:
You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
Messages are included in the backup, they just don't appear in the setting you are looking at because you don't have the option to not include them in the backup.

  • HT3406 how to backup text messages?

    I read that text messages can be backed up but no place do I see an option to do this. How can I backup and then restore all text and imessages?

    Why is this so? Does Apple have a reason for forcing restore of backed up data t be all or none? I am spoiled by Windows where I can backup whatever content I choose and restore whatever content I choose from any variety of backups. This gives an enormous advantage over the all or nothing approach currently the case with Apple.  Is the software sold outside the Apple store acceptable to do these tasks?
    Because that is the way that Apple wants to do it.
    As far as a reason, only Apple would know that, and speculation is prohibited here on the forum.
    Backup and restore on iOS devices has always been all or none. You cannot install software on the iPhone that does not come from the App Store unless the device is jailbroken, and discussion of that is also prohibited.

    If the messages were on your phone when you last backed it up, restoring to the entire backup should recover them.

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

    You can use blackberry protect.  it backups text messages online.  The link for it is in my signature.
    You can also check app world for an app that can forward the sms to an email address.  Here is an example of a free one but check around:

    umm... you don't. SMS is a function of the BlackBerry, not your PC.
    There could a desktop software for SMS, but I don't know what it would be.
    **edit, well this looks like it would work.

  • HT5085 Hi there,  i'm new to the iPHONE community and please can someone tell me how to backup my phone to iCLOUD. How do i connect with wi-fi. Must i buy a wi-fi connetion or what.Thank you kind regards

    Hi there,  i'm new to the iPHONE community and please can someone tell me how to backup my phone to iCLOUD. How do i connect with wi-fi. Must i buy a wi-fi connetion or what.Thank you kind regards

    Do you have a wi-fi network in your home ? If you do then you should be able to connect your phone to it via Settings > Wi-Fi on your phone - that should show any networks that are available, and tapping on the network that you want to use (and typing in its password if it's password protected) should connect the phone to it. If you don't have a wi-fi network then yes, you will need wifi router in your home, which is connected to the internet (e.g. via your phone line) to be able to back up your phone to iCloud.
    Connecting to wifi : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5569 (the screenshots on that page are from iOS 7, but they should be similar on iOS 6)

  • How to highlight text in the iCloud web app

    Hi,
    My computer recently broke so I had to use my mom's windows computer to do my homework. I had to use the iCloud web app Pages to do my homework. My assignment requires to be able to highlight stuff so does anyone know how to highlight text in the iCloud web apps?

    You can do this easily by using a "modify class" parameter in your web template.
    Following methods are of your interest to change char/KF headers.
    CAPTION_CELL          changes formats/values of characteristic headers
    STRUCTURE_CELL          changes formats/values of key figure headers
    Hope it helps.

    Very simple, at least on my Stratosphere. Tap on the message, then tap the Menu button and select Forward. In the To field, enter the desired e-mail address (or start typing a name from your contacts; it will pick up e-mail addresses from there). Press Send, and it goes.
