Last iCloud backup: never. However the actual backup says it was successful

I use the same Apple ID on all three devices. You can see here what I see when I go into the settings. I cropped one of the devices but that’s my iPad and iPhone.

I see backups, but have no way of knowing which device was last backed up successfully. I know that I can see specific items at the bottom of the settings like Restore Bookmarks or Restore Calendars And Reminders, but I don’t see specific device backups.

Demo, if I can add my two cents...

In addition to what you've correctly suggested to Alwijaya, I have the same issue, and use to backup my iP7 via iTunes, AND partially on iCloud.

To be sure I have my backup well done, I open my PC, visit icloud.com, and open settings... from where I can "see" that the backup is really there... (in spite of what my iphone sometimes says...😉)

I apologize for my intrusion.

I get those same incorrect messages from time to time and I can't explain why. However, they do go away. I will see the next day that the next successful backup took place and the Never message disappears.

I asked the hosts to remove the image that you posted. It has your phone number showing.

Yes. That has been my experience. That doesn’t mean that I am right though.

However, I would keep an eye on it. Keep checking and as long as you see that it is successfully backing up and it shows the time of the last backup, I think you will be OK. But like I said, the Never message should also go away.

I find all things iCloud to be a little flakey. I also backup with iTunes and when I do, I shut off the iCloud backup option until the iTunes backup is done. After I turn the iCloud backup on again, I will sometimes get a message that my iPhone or iPad hasn’t been backed up with iCloud in XX number of weeks which is ridiculous because before I shut off the iCloud backup, I saw that the last backup had indeed taken place successfully hours before or the night before.

Please intrude anytime you have more helpful information. 🙂

Yours is an excellent suggestion as long as one has a computer to use with their iOS device. However, I just tried what you suggested and even though I see all of my devices, and I see backups in Storage, how do I see specific backups for each device in the iCloud settings. Please take us through this step by step.

Thank you, Demo.

Unfortunately I own only, as iOS device, my iPhone 7, so I'm not able to offer an appropriate answer to your good question, for the moment. But I've some friends that should own 2 or 3 iOS devices, and I'll try to contact them and make some tests.

As soon as I've done my investigations, I'll be back here.

I have an iPad, an iPhone and an iPod Touch 5th generation all using I loud backups, and while I see storage being used for Backups, I see no way to know which device is which with regard to storage.

I will be curious to hear what you find out.

Just one more question, Demo, about the ID of your devices: do they all have different Apple ID, or do they use the same one?
