RE: [apple-iphone] Current iOS

 

Once set up, the backup to iCloud is automatically done when your iPhone is connected to power, locked, and on Wi-Fi.  To enable it, go to Settings, then the top selection on the main settings screen (Mine has my name, and under it, "Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store").  After selecting that, go down to "iCloud" (should be the 4th selection), then scroll down to "iCloud Backup" (On my phone, this is the last selection under "APPS USING ICLOUD").

 

Be aware that depending on what else you have stored in iCloud, your backups may put you above your "complimentary" 5 GB allotment.  If this is the case, you will need to purchase additional storage.  This was the case for my wife's account.  The additional storage costs 99 cents per month, and gives you a BUNCH more room (100 GB, I think).

 

My phone backs up to iCloud every night while I sleep.

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.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?

With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
