How to Backup Your iPhone

Backing up your iPhone is important, because it means if your phone got wiped, you’re able to restore personal data and settings. Therefore, it stops you from losing lots of important data.

Here’s how to backup your iPhone:

1. Connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi Network
2. Go to Settings > (YOUR NAME), and click iCloud

3. Scroll down and click iCloud Backup
4. Then tap Backup Now. Stay connected to your Wi-Fi network until the process ends. Under Back Up Now, you’ll see the date and time of your last backup.

Automatically Backup with iCloud Backup

Here’s how you can set your iPhone to automatically backup each day:

1. Make sure that iCloud Backup is turned on in Settings > (YOUR NAME) > iCloud > iCloud Backup
2. Connect your device to a power source
3. Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network
4. Make sure that your device’s screen is locked
5. If you get an alert that says you don’t have enough iCloud storage to complete the backup, you can purchase more space by following the onscreen steps.
