Actually, the settings only reflect the things that you have the option not to include in iCloud backup, not everything that is backed up. Then does iCloud back up text messages? The answer is yes. Apple offers 5GB of free iCloud storage that can be used to store your important iOS data, including text messages.

Details are shown as follow:

• App data
• Apple Watch backups
• Call history
• Device settings
• Health data
• HomeKit configuration
• Home screen and app organization
• iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages (requires SIM card that was in use during backup)
• Photos and videos on your iOS devices
• Purchase history from Apple services like music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
• Ringtones
• Visual Voicemail password (requires SIM card that was in use during backup)
