  • How much iCloud storage are you using?

  • What storage plan have you chosen?


If you are currently using more storage than what has been allocated, then the warning will persist because data loss is inevitable at that point. You can manage your storage using this link to get it under the allocated amount.

If your next backup is showing that it will require more space that what you have available to use and you have iCloud Backups turned on, then you can also expect to see that message.

Hello Dr Quality,

I had the same issue come up on my iPhone 17PM. The issue or notification showed up with a number 1 on my Settings Icon. Thinking Apple had an update available I clicked on the System Icon and brought my Settings page with an option to upgrade or change my iCloud storage amount. I’m on the Apple One Premier plan and didn’t want to change my iCloud subscription plan so I just clicked on “Not Now” , but the number 1 still showed on my Settings icon. I was ready to call it a night, so I just did a shut down my iPhone for the night. Next morning on powering back up the 1 showed up briefly on my Settings icon, but within 15 minutes it was gone and hasn’t come back. No iCloud settings were changed. I can’t explain it, but this is what came up on my iPhone when clicking on the Settings icon. My advice is a shut down power off like I did and the issue or Settings Icon notification should fix itself.
