Hi,

I'm not a programmer or iOS expert, just a simple user who would like to ask for some information regarding iOS save data in the Cloud.

Take for instance one of my favorite games, Osmos. I delete the app completely, even restore the iOS device from scratch, I can see no data being stored in the iCloud (i.e. if I go to the iCloud settings on my iMac and select Manage Storage, there is no listing for Osmos - see attached image), yet if I reinstall the app it pulls the save data in from somewhere? Some apps seem to list the data on the Manage Storage area of iOS/OS X, whereas others do not.

Where is this data being stored as I just can't see it? Or does it pull it from their servers? I have a few apps that are like this and I was just wondering why Icannot see it & where it is?

Thank you everyone!
