Catch 22 - Cannot Backup My iPhone but Also Cannot See Any Backups to Verify How Big "Next Backup" Is
Hi everyone,
Just as the title says, my iPhone has been rejecting any attempt to back itself up to iCloud, stating that there is not enough space in the iCloud. My current usage is approx. 170MB of 5GB. I have selected only small apps to back up such as Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Reminders, etc. (i.e. no Photos, Mail or similar).
When I was looking online for how to solve this, I realized I should check the size of "Next Backup" which is supposedly located under Settings >My Info > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups. The issue is, I do not have Backups at that location. Once I go to Manage Storage I can only see three items: iCloud storage size bar, Change Storage Plan and list of apps using the aforementioned 170MB of iCloud storage.
This is all quite annoying as red badge regularly keeps popping up in the Settings, reminding me to back up my phone. Honestly, it makes me think this is deliberately made this way so to nudge me towards buying more storage space, which I have no intention of doing. Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
