How do you see your Next Backup Size in iOS 11.0?

Instructions (from Apple's site) state to do the following to see your Next Backup Size, a feature we use a lot at our school's tech desk when students have backup problems.

iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

iOS 10.3 or later:

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
If you use iOS 11, tap Manage Storage > Backup. If you use iOS 10.3, tap iCloud Storage > Manage Storage.
Tap the name of any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that's linked to your account.
Tap Delete Backup > Turn Off & Delete. (if making more room)

In iOS 11.0, after taping on Manage Storage, you no longer tap the device, and you never see the Next Backup Size like before. How do we get to that data now? Additionally, where do we now turn off the backup for individual apps, another feature we use quite a bit.

Our students are finding that they can no longer deduce why they are having backup issues, and I am just frustrated and not willing to update my own device based on what I am seeing.

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 11

Please confirm that Backup is enabled, as shown in the screenshot below. If Backup is enabled, you should be able to access the next backup size for the device.

iCloud Backup is turned on, still no Next Backup size on the Manage Storage.

Oof! Glad we finally got it. I know it's different, but it's just a typical re-scrambling of the menus.

Okay thank you. The problem is that I would basically have to delete everything on my ohone in order to back it up and I’m not down with that so I guess I’m out of luck. But thanks anyways.

Hi. First, you need to enable Backup. Scroll down on that first screenshot, with the header "iCloud".

Then, follow the steps in this post, link: Re: How do you see your Next Backup Size in iOS 11.0? to see the backup info for your device. You don't seem to have much stuff. Do you have other devices that share your Apple ID? They will be sharing your iCloud storage.
