When you sign up for iCloud, you automatically get 5 GB of free storage. Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud
Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
If you run out of space, there are several ways you can increase your available iCloud storage. For example, you
can decrease the size of your Camera Roll backup, change which apps you back up, or delete documents and old
email messages you no longer need. You can also increase your storage by upgrading your storage plan. For
more information, see iCloud storage management overview and Upgrade your iCloud storage.
What iCloud backs up
You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device
over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information
backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Your iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased
content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded
from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in
all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer
available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by
country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support
article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already
stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My
Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.
