Apple iCloud Storage

I received this message the other day:





It was the first time I had reached 50% of my allotted storage space, so I was wondering what kinds of documents are stored in iCloud. Here's the answer from Apple Support:
  • App data
  • Apple Watch backups
  • Call history
  • Device settings
  • HomeKit configuration
  • Home screen and app organization
  • iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
  • Photos and videos on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
  • Purchase history from Apple services, like your music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
  • Ringtones
  • Visual Voicemail password (requires the SIM card that was in use during backup)
My guess is that photos and videos take up a majority of iCloud space for most users. Since I store my photos and videos in Google Photos (which provides unlimited storage space if you enable compression) and remove them from my phone, iCloud storage has never been a challenge for me.
