The problem of iPhone not being backed up to iCloud can be solved by checking the network, storage space and function switches. First, make sure to connect to stable Wi-Fi, avoid using public or enterprise networks, and confirm the signal strength; secondly, check whether the iCloud storage space is sufficient, and delete the old backup or upgrade plan if necessary; then enter the settings to confirm that "iCloud Cloud Backup" is enabled, and you need to confirm again after iOS updates; if the backup is stuck, it can be triggered manually, turn it off and turn it on and click "Backup Now". If it still fails, try restarting the device, updating the system, or logging in to the Apple ID again.

The problem of not backing up iPhone to iCloud is really a headache, especially when you are afraid of data loss. This situation may be caused by several common reasons, such as network, storage space, setting switch not turned on, etc. Let’s talk about the key points first: check whether Wi-Fi is stable, whether iCloud storage space is sufficient, and whether iCloud cloud backup function is enabled . These are the most common stuck points.

The following are several situations to see the problems you may encounter and solutions.

Unstable network connection or does not meet the requirements

iCloud backup only takes place under Wi-Fi by default, and requires your iPhone to be powered and locked. If you are using traffic, or your phone is not plugged in, it will not automatically start backup.

• Confirm that Wi-Fi is connected
• Make sure it is not a public hotspot or corporate network (some corporate networks limit iCloud)
• You can try switching Wi-Fi or restarting the router.

Sometimes, even if you are connected to Wi-Fi, the upload may fail due to weak signal. You can try to bring your phone closer to the router.

iCloud insufficient storage space

Many people ignore this point: iCloud is only 5GB free, and if your photos, information, and App data add up to exceed this limit, the backup will be paused.

• Open Settings > Click your Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage
• Check the remaining space, if it is not enough, you can choose:
  • Delete old backup to free up space
  • Upgrade iCloud storage solution (select on demand)

In addition, you can also reduce the consumption by "optimizing iPhone storage", and the system will prioritize backup of important data.

iCloud cloud backup function not enabled

Although it sounds simple, many people think it doesn't. You can check this way:

• Settings > Your Apple ID > iCloud
• Scroll down to find "iCloud Cloud Backup" and make sure it is a green switch

One more thing to note: these options are sometimes reset after iOS updates, so it is a good habit to check them regularly.

Backup stuck or failed, trigger it manually once to try

If you haven't backed up for a long time, or failed last time, you can manually force it once:

1. Connect to Wi-Fi and plug in the charger
2. Settings > General > Airdrop with AirPlay > Find "iCloud Cloud Backup" at the bottom
3. Close and open again, then click "Back up now"

If you keep spinning or failing, you can try:

• Restart iPhone and try again
• Update the system to the latest version
• Log out of Apple ID and log in again

Basically these common questions. Sometimes it seems small details, such as forgetting to plug in or the network is not good, will make you wait for a long time without any movement. Don’t be in a hurry when encountering problems. Follow the steps to check them all and basically you can get them done.
