How to back up your iPhone and iPad to iCloud

You should always have backups of your iPhone and iPad data. Let’s look how to do this by backing up to iCloud.

° Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > “Saved to iCloud.”

° Choose which options you wish to save to iCloud. I’d recommend choosing all.

° Your data will now be synced to iCloud at regular intervals that you determine.

° Go to iCloud Backup to set the interval or tap Back Up Now and enter to password to, well, back up all your data now. 

You may need to buy more storage as Apple only gives you a a miserly 5GB for free. To buy more storage:

° Go to iCloud > iCloud + Features > Manage Plan.
