You can check a progress bar when backing up manually.
Settings > iCloud > iCloud Backup
I'm glad I checked: this ex-beta iPad had iCloud Backup off.
Upon switching it on, it notified me that it would no longer back up to a computer using iTunes.
So it's now backing up, and today it expects to take 7 minutes. It'll go unnoticed once the changes are limited to few files at a time.
NOTES:
- You may have to increase your space on iCloud, and pay [more] for it. I have had the 200GB subscription for several years, and it suits me with my many iOS devices.
- Mind your data plans and maybe your battery life. You may find all of your cloud services to welcome every image, so you could end up transfering every single photograph or screenshot to iCloud AND Dropbox AND Google, or whatever. (It reminds me of an occasion when I had taken many pictures. Uploading them using my then mobile data plan would be impossible. I remember crushing my teeth while uploading through the painfully slow wifi network on a train. Poor battery! Nor could I do much with that smartphone while uploading. - I now have unlimited data and LTE+.)

I have always depended upon my computer to back-up my iPhones but since it no longer seems possible to do so how do I back-up my iphones to iCloud and how do I know when the back-up is completed? Thanks so much.

Is that so? (It may well be! It may depend on your aims or work flow.)
You see, I don't use iTunes at all. Well, maybe once a year on an aging Windows/Linux system that I use for two vintage applications. I haven't run macOS for over a year. I default to iPads and iPhones. For comparison I have some Android devices ready.
But most of what I want done, I can achieve on iOS devices, with rather heavy reliance on several clouds, including iCloud for keeping them backed up.
So to me, there is no relation between iOS any any other operating system or platform. But to you, there may well be.

The problem with iOS 12 is that it requires my Mac OS to upgrade and if I do so my iPhoto program will cease to work. So now having invested in the iPhone XS max it cannot sync with iTunes on my computer.
