I wondered what was doing it!!!! Thank you for explaining.

I don’t use iCloud and always turn the sync off but once in a while I see the toggles on again it’s so frustrating.

I also help some elderly with their iPhones and had setup iTunes backup to their iMacs, but every time I go to fix something the toggles are all on again. For one of them, they somehow enabled purchasing extra iCloud space so now they pay when they didn’t need to, and I don’t have the time to go through and figure out how to turn it off while also ensuring they keep all their photos.

If a user chooses to configure something in a certain way the vendor should not change that. Is it so hard to comprehend?
