Is it possible to backup messages on icloud or directly to macbook to "messages" program just like you can do with photos, contacts....?

The only way i know is to backup whole iphone..but thats not what i want...
 
Apple was set to introduce iMessages on iCloud with iOS 11, but delayed the implementation of this feature until a future release of iOS. Unfortunately, it's not coming in iOS 11.1, so I'd guess probably iOS 11.2 or 11.3 (next year, sadly). Right now, the only way is to do a full backup of your iPhone via iCloud or iTunes. Sucks, I know :(
 
So shame ..that option would be perfect.. any more exactly date about it? Probably ios 11.2 will be out in 2-3 months?
