Hi Paul,
According to Apple photos do get backed up, but I still think it would be safer if he also turned on Photostream to upload his pictures to his iCloud account. Below is a link to an article from Apple about iCloud backups and it contains a list of what exactly is being backed up. Keep in mind as well that if he has any apps on his phone which are no longer available in the app store that these will be lost unless he backs them up to iTunes on a computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12519 Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Ferrara Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 7:58 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: what is stored in an icloud backup? All, my friend in another state is going to be upgrading soon from the 4S to a 6 or 6Plus; he does not have a PC, does not use iTunes, is not a techie so doesn’t have dropbox, etc. Will pictures and videos be saved to the cloud; if so, are there any steps I need to make sure to tell him to do. He cannot get these pictures back if they are lost. Thanks. Paul -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
