Why is it that after I disabled WhatsApp backup, it is still backing up to iCloud?

WhatsApp - Backup disabled, still coming up at iCloud

Hi,

does anyone else has the same trouble with WhatsApp?
I disabled "auto backup", even disabled "mobile data usage" and excluded it from the iCloud Backup itself, but theres still this one "initial backup" that is showing up on the iCloud backup overview.

This happens every single time I de- and reinstall WA. How do get rid of this initial backup? I don't need and don't want an WA backup.

Running iOS 8.1 on an iPhone 5

Kind regards,

Looks like its an issue with iCloud Drive.

If you disable WA @ Documents and Data / iCloud Drive there's no option to "load" an old backup, but on the other side it dosen't send anything into the cloud either. Fine for me. Perhaps the next update fixes this issue.
