> The parts of it being uploaded to iCloud, not the whole thing, yes?

If you leave your phone on default settings, that’s all of them. In fact you need to turn off a lot of things. Turn off backups, Photo Stream, Files, Mail Drop, album sharing (make sure you don’t accept any invites to shared albums or you will get flagged) and I’m sure there are more iCloud integrations I’m not aware of.

It’s actually quite hard to not use iCloud, by design.
