All your iPhone or iPad apps and their program data are automatically backed up to iCloud, but you can save a lot of storage space by deleting your largest apps from the iCloud backup list.
Can you use iCloud to store apps?
You can select which apps on your iPhone to use with iCloud. For this, go to Settings → tap Your Name → tap iCloud. Then tap on the switch next to each app that you want to be updated via iCloud. It's very likely that your Photos app stores the largest share of your iPhone's data.
