as others pointed out, you are not providing info that would explain the space usage.<br />

What are you backing up. Email, notes, contacts, media (images, movies, etc.) and the phone settings.<br />

Problem: When the iPhone is being backed up, it &nbsp;creates about 70 GB.<br />
The older iPhone back up, were removed.<br />
For some reason, the iPhone X back up to the cloud is not working 100% and the Apple cloud storage is about 100 GB.<br />
Any ideas?

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
