So about iCloud backups..

Question

So about iCloud backups..

As you see in this photo I have stuff backed up in my iCloud.here comes the first question I have. Why does it have the “-“ before the numbers on “backups”?and here comes the third question. Why does it say “0kb” does that mean that nothing on my iPhone is being backed up?and here comes the last question. As you see it says “193 mb” for the next back up size when the apps listed below have like gbs. But the slider is turned to green. Plus. The back up size is 0 aswell even though my phone backups everyday. Does that mean literally nothing is backed up on my phone to iCloud? If so. How do I fix this? How can I back up all of my games into iCloud??(I have 50gb space on my iCloud so pretty sure space isn’t the problem here)

iPhone XR, iOS 12

To see what else was backed up, go to Settings > Name > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups > choose device you are on > see information such as Last Backup, Backup Size, Next Backup Size; and also what apps are turned on as the data from those apps are being backed up.

It looks like you're primarily backing up the data that's on your device to your device, not to iCloud. Do you have Photos enabled - Settings > Name > iCloud?
