When trying to backup I’m told I don’t have enough iCloud storage. But when I checked- it shows that I’m only using 1.4gb out of 5gb of iCloud storage... so I should have enough to do a backup...

When trying to do a back up on my iPhone X I get the notification that I do not have enough iCloud storage. Then when I go onto the Settings to check my iCloud storage it shows that I am only using 1.4 GB out of five GB. I also turned most of my apps off for the update so that there should be plenty of storage space to do the download. Again, it didn’t work

The backup data size is larger than the space available on iCloud.


Watch the GIF below to know the size of the next backup.
