Why can't I get rid of the little red circle on the iPhone Settings tab - concerning backups?

I want to use a swear word, but I'll refrain. It's bad enough my iPhone keeps asking me to buy iCloud - saying "your iPhone can't be backed up." First of all - it CAN be backed up, to a local external drive. Second of all - just leave me alone!


But on top of it, I can't get rid of the little red "1" alerting me to their demand that I buy it! And everyone knows you can't live another minute if you have little red "1"s on your iPhone!


Someone fix the **** bug. Better yet, stop hawking your wares!

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. The only wares I would have to hawk are some handmade potholders.


Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Meanwhile, have you turned off iCloud Backup? Also, try tapping on that upgrade and going up to the point where you would need to confirm the purchase and then don't. In many cases, that will stop things from nagging you.
