Greetings Pmart1980,


That's a fantastic question! "iCloud Backups include nearly all data and settings stored on your device." The information listed below is what's not included in an iCloud backup. This information is specific to iCloud backups, and can also be found in the following article.


  • "Data that's already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Notes, iCloud Photos, iMessages, Voice Memos, text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages, and Health data
  • Data stored in other cloud services, like Gmail and Exchange mail
  • Apple Mail data
  • Apple Pay information and settings
  • Face ID or Touch ID settings
  • iCloud Music Library and App Store content"


Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


If you use iCloud Keychain, that information would already be in iCloud and sync between your devices where iCloud Keychain is enabled. You can learn more about iCloud Keychain via the following link.


Set up iCloud Keychain


Have a great day!
