Decide whether to disable or delete

Distinguish disabling new backups from deleting existing recovery points. They have different effects.

Turn backup off on this device

  1. Open Settings, then iCloud Backup.
  2. Review the existing recovery point.
  3. Use the option to turn backup off on this device.
  4. Confirm the new status.
  5. Record your choice if you need a future reminder to revisit it.

Read the new device status

The device should show backup as off. Existing iCloud backups are a separate management choice.

Review other devices separately

Other devices can have their own settings and recovery points. Do not infer that one device’s change controls every device.
