It doesn’t mean your photos never got backed up before. It’s a different/separate method from the regular backup, which is why the photos need to be uploaded again. What you’re seeing in that second screen is your photos being uploaded to your iCloud Photo Library specifically. Since there is no need to backup your photos to iCloud twice, iOS only does one or the other. This distinction is a bit of a technicality, but the important part is you can consider your photos backed up to iCloud, no matter which option you choose. Therefore this option acts as a backup for your photos. However in the event that you lose your iPhone you will still be able to recover your photos from iCloud (even without restoring your new iPhone from backup). This is a syncing process rather than a “backup” per se. With iCloud Photo Library enabled, your photos get uploaded to iCloud every time you’re on Wi-Fi. Those photos can only be recovered by restoring your iPhone from your iCloud backup. Through the normal backup process ( iCloud Photo Library disabled), your photos are backed up at most once every 24 hours along with the rest of your data, when your iPhone is on Wi-Fi, charged, and locked. Photo Library is backed up separately as part of iCloud Photo Library. And that's how much extra storage on iCloud costs a year.IOS does backup your photos as part of its normal backup process, unless you enable iCloud Photo Library, in which case: But if you lost your iPhone, got a new one to replace it and someone told you that you could download a backup of all of the data from your lost phone for just $12, you'd probably say yes. I realize that the idea of paying Apple more money on top of what we already spend on devices, accessories and AppleCare doesn't sit well with a lot of people. This is the part no one likes to do, but Apple does offer three price tiers for storage: the free 5GB, $3-per-month 200GB or $10-per-month 2TB plan. If you turn off the iCloud backup settings for these two apps however, old messages won't be restored in case you get a new phone. Besides Photos, the two biggest data hogs using your iCloud storage tend to be Mail and Messages. Below Photos is a list of every other iCloud-enabled app on your iPhone, starting with Apple's own apps. If all you wanted to back up was your camera roll, the only setting you'd need would be the first toggle listed, labeled iCloud Photos. Whether you're planning on upgrading the new iPhone SE or green iPhone 13, updating to iOS 15.4 (there are a bunch of new emoji to try) or preparing in case your iPhone is lost or stolen, taking a few minutes to secure your important photos, videos and text messages can save you a future headache.
