Long story short. I sold my 6s plus. I'm trying to figure a way that I can see the texts thru maybe icloud or something. I needed a very important number that I forgot to write down before resetting it & selling it. Any help would be appreciated.

It may be possible to extract it from a backup made to a computer... there are computer apps that allow you to open back-up files...

Do you have any other iOS devices or Mac? If not, you might be out of luck!

You won't be able to see them unless you somehow open your last backup. Seems I remember seeing tools out there for this, but I don't think the ones that work well are free.
