iOS Backup weirdness & Medical ID

iOS iCloud Backup Weirdness & Medical ID.


I am wondering why com.apple.WebKit.PushBun... keeps appearing in my back up, and why medical ID constantly turned itself back on? The app had been installed for years.


Look at the attached photo for more information:

Those webkit files are a part of the inner workings of Safari, as well as many apps. There are normal, do not necessarily need to be backed up, but it doesn’t hurt to do so.


Medical ID cannot be deleted, so not quite sure exactly what you mean. You don’t wish to back it up, don’t, but there’s no real reason not to. It is a tiny file.


Or in other words, nothing weird here at all. Perfectly normal.

You're right, I should have said the "apple health" app isn't installed and hasn't been since creation. I still don't understand why it keeps turning itself on.


Same goes for the redundant webkit item. I will switch it off, it stays off, but then another one will just appear. I only have about 15 apps on my device and most of them are Apple's own backed in apps. I have been using iOS for almost 2 decades and I've never come across the two items I am posting about.


Thanks for the insight!
