messages are not backup in icloud. iphone is set to backup messages but I don't see them in the icloud

If you sync them to icloud as outlined in my first link, message is not part of the icloud backup.

If you don't sync them to icloud, then it is included in the backup, which can't be viewed by going to icloud.com
