I've read that turning off the automatic backup feature means that backups will be deleted in 180 days. However, what happens if you just have a phone that hasn't been used in several years? Will the most recent backup on that iphone still be there? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to figure out if searching for an old missing phone of mine is worth it.

Also, if for instance facebook messenger as an app that is selected for the backup, does it save a copy of the messages and/or chat logs?
