Which information is stored in iCloud

I am a user of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Watch + iCloud. I am familliar with the visable items stored in iCloud (iCloud Photo Library, backups, saved documents, and all items visible in iCloud storage management). I was wondering which other information is stored there.


What I know:

- Safari bookmarks and open tabs on all devices

- iCloud Keychain

- Keyboard text replacements

- iTunes Library


Are there anymore things?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Yes.


At the end of the article:

Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud. That includes contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library, My Photo Stream, and documents you store in iCloud Drive. If your iOS device isn’t set up for iCloud Drive, but is set up for iCloud Documents & Data, your documents stored in iCloud are backed up.

I read that. But it doesn't even mention text replacements or iCloud Keychain, so my believe is that is isn't a complete list of all the things... and it's a public support page. I do reseach for I post here 🙂

It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud.

eg. Keychain.

Content purchased from Apple is already in iCloud and is not part of a iCloud backup. If you want you can backup iTunes Library locally.

Anything else you like to know, please be specific?

Yes, I sure did. But you don't understand my question or you're just scoring community points by answering with Apple supportpages, which I can find myself easliy.

I don't get points by giving you Apple support pages.
