Q: iCloud

So with the iCloud, I understand the things that are on my phone taking up storage in my phone and how it's taking up storage in my icloud, but everything else that's in iCloud, from like previous phones and things like that, how do I view those things? Like I domwloaded the icloud app, and am signed in and everything but there still is no option to view what all the content is inside the iCloud taking up so much space and also there are pictures and things like that I would like access to considering I have used he same iCloud the past 4 years I've had an apple account

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.1

    You may be thinking of backups to iCloud. If you backed up your previous (or even current phone) to iCloud, the contents of those backups are not viewable. The only thing that you can use an iCloud backup for is to do a complete restore to a phone or to set up a new phone. However you can see the size and date of the backups. On your iPhone you can go to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage and look in the Backups section. See the following for more information: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

     

    You can use a computer and log in to Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support to see information that is synced to iCloud.
