iCloud backup with two phones

Hi, I have two iPhones, using the same Apple ID, one as a ‘spare’.


Can I turn off iCloud backup on one phone, so it only backs up my ‘main’ phone, and saves space on my iCloud? Or does turning off iCloud on one phone work across all phones?


Thanks

You can turn off iCloud Backup on either phone without affecting the other one. You can also delete the previous backup of that phone if you no longer need it and don't want it to use the iCloud space.
