Is there a way to have new iMessage e2e keys generated after disabling iCloud device backup?

According to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 :
> When you turn off iCloud Backup, a new key is generated on your device to protect future messages and isn't stored by Apple.
So it doesn't look like any extra steps are required.
The extra steps are having everyone else you iMessage with also turn off iCloud Backup.
Messages are all backed up twice by default: once from each device.
Turning off iCloud Backup is like migrating off of gmail to keep daddy G from reading your correspondence: it doesn't work when everyone else you correspond with is still being surveilled.
thanks for clarifying.
