I want to stop iPhone photos to auto-back up to OneDrive & only use iCloud.

hello, this year I noticed that my photos in my Iphone are getting backed up automatically from my celll straight to my OneDrive Microsoft drive. I did not have this set up before. I normally select the photos I want to be on the cloud after I clean up my phone. I already have ICloud storage for backup and I don't need to back up pictures and videos twice. How can I stop that from happening.

    Hello,

    Do you use OneDrive app on the phone? If so, launch the app, then tap on your user profile icon on the upper left, go to Settings > Camera backup, make sure it is toggled OFF
