Iphone 12 icloud backup

Hey, i'm unable to backup my iphone although my ICloud drive is empty (5GBs available). I disabled most of my apps from backup to ICloud but it still says the backup size is too large. Is there a way to see the backup size? what else can i do?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

iCloud backup larger than it should be Trying to backup my phone to iCloud and the only thing I’m backing up is three apps. Everything else is turned off. Individually they add up to about 8MB, but it says my next backup size is going to be 8.55Gb🤨. Am I missing something? How is the backup going to be that big and how do I fix it?

iCloud backup size confusion on iPhone I’m currently unable to backup my phone to iCloud. It currently shows 4.8gb used out of the available 5gb. The existing backup is showing as 3.8gb. If I select “delete and turn off backup “ option, can I create a new backup straight away? I have all the photos and data on my phone that I need to backup. I have also turned off the apps that were using iCloud that I do not want to backup in the next backup. The thing that is confusing me is that it says next backup size +13.84gb. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

You'll likely need more space to backup or need to back up to a computer.

You can see the size of the next backup:

Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud backup > Your Device Name
