I'm running out of iCloud storage space and can't figure out why my iPhone back up is 1.64 GB.
Photos, messages, contacts, notes, etc are all synced to iCloud themselves, so I was under the impression that they are not included in the backup file.
Under the backup menu, I've deselected all the apps to not be included in the backup and the file size is still 1.64GB. So what data exactly is causing this? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
iPhone 11, iOS 16
