Can no longere choose what to backup

Hi all, I can't get to this settings page:



If I go to settings> id apple> my iphone> backup i get a page only asking to enable backup, enable backup via cellular line and to run backup now. I want to exlude the photos from my backups but since I have no access to that view I cant.. Do you know how to reach that setting to pick what I want in my backup?


Note: I've deleted my old backups so I can't go in them and choose "next backup size"

iPhone 14 Pro Max

If you had enabled iCloud Photos then you will not get the option to choose or or not choose Photos for iCloud backup.


Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. Tap Sync this iPhone. In iOS 15 or earlier, tap to turn on iCloud Photos. Select Optimize iPhone Storage to save space on your device.

Enabling iCloud for Photos, Notes, Videos, Reminders, Messages, and more, as depicted in the provided picture, means that if you delete any or all data from one device, it will also be removed from iCloud and all other devices linked to the same Apple ID. Likewise, the reverse is true as well.
