How to retrieve text messages from the cloud

I have over 7,000 text messages saved to the cloud plus I have enabled my messages to never be “removed” I’m trying to get into the “cloud” to retrieve some of my older text messages

There is no getting into the cloud to reteive messages. There is no access ot iCloud Messages on the icloud.com website.


If you turned on iCloud Messages on a device you no longer have, you need to turn on the same option on a replacement Apple device logged in to the same iCloud Account so it can access those messages.

If you did something else to get these messages to iCloud, then plase clarify.
