The list under Settings->Your Name->iCloud shows only Apps that use iCloud to store things. It is not the list for backups.

If the particular App does not directly store things in iCloud then it won't show up there.

The list for the iCloud backup inclusion is in Settings->Your Name->iCloud->Manage Storage->Backups->Your Device Name->Show All Apps.

It may take a minute to populate the list there. You can add or exclude an app's data from being backed to with the switches there.

The reply was very helpful I navigated to the list but now I’m more confused because the apps that I said I have no data were toggled to back up to iCloud 11 gigs of data on apps. So now I am confused as to why the data didn’t transfer to my phone if it was backed up to the cloud. Is it possible I need to do a back up to get my phone to replace the data? I’m really not sure if I’ve done a back up overnight since I got the phone. Thank you for your help

Did you restore a backup from an old device to the new iPhone when you set it up?
