The worst part is even if you disable automatic backups, which you should, the app will nevertheless force the creation of a backup every day at 2am. And keep 7 days worth of backups at a time. Of every single thing it can gets its hands on. The amount of storage and processing that globally occurs daily due to this, that people neither want nor need, is probably jaw dropping.

Many non-tech people I know that are not aware of this have just come to terms with the fact that phone storage just runs out quicker than it did before, and old phones just lag at 2am for mysterious reasons.
