“iCloud” under Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data > iCloud, Does that setting (Push, Fetch, Manual) only apply to iCloud email (I use Gmail, not iCloud for email) or does that actually apply and affect things synced to iCloud such as calendar data etc?
 
There are individual settings for each account. For example, this is what I see if I tap on Gmail;

The "master" fetch setting that I assume you're referring to - that allows you to set how often fetch occurs (hourly, every 30 minutes and so on), on the accounts where fetch is enabled.

Ahhh. In that case, all iCloud functions are bundled together. As far as I know, there's no way to separate them, so what ever setting you choose, it will apply to all iCloud functions.

Got it, in that case I’ll leave it on Push. As far as iCloud goes, should “Phone” “FaceTime” and “Watch” be toggled on? What data do these toggles sync with iCloud when toggled on?
