Apple maintains a separate document on how individual content is encrypted [1].
Note that it is not apparent whether some of data listed under "end-to-end encrypted" is also included with iCloud Backups.

- maximente 7y agosuppose i have an iphone 7 and a macbook air. i would like to know (to the extent possible) if it is possible to keep encrypted messages in iMessage accessible only on the iPhone while keeping photos available in iCloud/cross device. after reading the link, it seems that as long as i do not have iCloud enabled for messages, no matter what other services i have enabled iCloud enabled for, i'm OK - for example, i do have photo iCloud backup enabled. can anyone confirm that's what happens?
- saagarjha 7y agoYou’ll also probably need to disable iMessage on your Mac.
- Despegar 7y agoYou can have iCloud enabled for Messages, but if you have iCloud Backup on then the keys are stored in the backup. >Messages in iCloud also uses end-to-end encryption. If you have iCloud Backup turned on, your backup includes a copy of the key protecting your Messages. This ensures you can recover your Messages if you lose access to iCloud Keychain and your trusted devices. When you turn off iCloud Backup, a new key is generated on your device to protect future messages and isn't stored by Apple.
