Hello Samlu9122,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you want to know if backing up your device to iCloud includes the settings and if it does how can you back up without the settings. We're happy to help!


Below is an article that will tell you what iCloud back ups.

What does iCloud back up?


Device settings is part of the iCloud backup but they can't be excluded from an iCloud backup.


Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
