    It really sucks what they do. I have an iPad for the kids and it always complains about storage being full and offers me the “upgrade”. I will never pay them that $1.

      Disabling iCloud backup should eliminate the upgrade nag. Can tap iCloud (the profile photo) at the top of Settings, and start unchecking. You might have enough space to still back up e.g. contacts, so you shouldn’t have to disable everything.

        Thank you. Photos are already off. I’ll turn off messages, too. Storage gets filled because my 6 year old daughter loves to make videos of herself pretending she’s making YouTube videos showing her toys😂

      I think a lot of Apple stuff is paid astroturfing. Its so obvious, like a domestic abuse victim or a chump who doesn’t realize they’re being screwed. It would be fun to watch if they were any other ecosystem inhabitant than the same one I use predominantly
