iCloud storage: What is the dark grey segment?

Are you running iOS 11.3? Could it be that this grey segment is related to the messages in the cloud feature that’s still not implemented in iOS 11? Because: As you can see in the attached picture I use 70.4 MB of iCloud Drive storage (only documents so that's the orange segment). In the list there’s also an entry for messages (71 MB, so roughly the same size (I don’t know whether this entry was there before the update)) and the 2 segments are also the same size. Perhaps the messages in the cloud feature is somehow half-implemented ;-)

Hi hippocampus01,

This is just an assumption but: I guess this should work in iOS 11.4 since it looks like Apple is finally going to implement the messages in the cloud feature then and when you then turn it off the Messages app should't take all that space up.

Many greets

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply but the available storage is next to the segment I’m talking about. Here is a picture to make it clearer:

I can confirm that this is for messages. I just checked iCloud storage on my Mac and when I hover over the suspicious segment there it says "Messages". Mystery solved :-)
