Q: My iCloud storage says I have only 1.3GB available, but my phone backups only says it uses 1.6GB and my iCloud Photo Library using 1.2GB and my mail reading 176MB. Why is my available storage not just over 2GB?

Hi FunkyPanda007,

I understand that you have some concerns about your iCloud storage usage. I know it's important to get the most out of the space available to you, so I'm happy to provide some direction to help.

It's important to note that some apps may use iCloud for syncing data across your devices as well. This may not reflect in the screen you are on, which may explain the discrepancies that you're seeing. You can see more about your iCloud storage usage here:
