SMS are saved in iCloud as long as you have the setting to perform automatic iCloud backups. &nbsp;Backups are retained as long as you let them be or until space runs out in the cloud.

Agreed.<br />
<br />
But you cannot only delete SMS from iCloud backup and you cannot only restore SMS from iCloud backup as there is no native selective backup for iCloud.

Agreed.

Also, if you manually delete the text messages on the phone, and iCloud performs a backup, then the sms are not saved (backed up).

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.
