Hello,

I had problem with my iphone regarding battery which i have fixed with reinstalling the device but not using the icloud restore option. Everything works fine except imessage. I have about 2GB of imessage files stored in my phone and 30GB in icloud. How can i make sure they will get downloaded back to my device? I upgraded my icloud storage to make restoring my iphone easier but i want to downgrade.

I tried syncing imessages in icloud settings but doesnt seem to work really, maybe it needs more time to do that. EDIT: It says it is synced but its uses even less storage than before (about 400mb). If i turn off icloud messages in settings i get prompted with option to download them back to the phone and offload them from icloud, will it work? Than i will downgrade my icloud and let some messages be synced back to icloud.
