Thank you for reading!
I have an iPhone 5S 16 GB running ios 8.1.3. My iPhone is being backed up to iCloud. Currently the backup is estimated at nearly 600 MB. I am utilizing iCloud photostream. I do not have photos saved locally. The largest app under the estimate (when clicking "manage more storage" is only 12 mB.
Why is the backup SO large?!
You are welcome for reading. 600 MB backup is not large, by all means. I have no imessages, about 60 photos and my backup is over 1 Gig. You just don't realize what happens with files. If you were to create smallest file possible by using notepad on your computer and typing one letter, it would still have more then 20 kbytes. We are talking apps that require bigger files for even smallest stuff. So you can pursue that avenue - why or why or just be happy that yet you don't have to pay for storage over 5 gigs. Your poison.
Why is my iPhone Backup WAY larger than estimated? Pics incl.
