Uploading to iCloud Paused

Anytime I am in the messages app on the message list, I get this message: “Uploading to iCloud Paused - Plug in your device and connect to WiFi”


I plug in my phone and then the message goes away, but comes back as soon as I unplug it. I also have left it plugged in and connected to WiFi all night with no success.


This a new phone currently on iOS 13. Any thoughts?

iPhone XS Max

Hi fromsunset,


It sounds like you're having trouble with iCloud upload being paused, and I want to help.


It's normal for this to pause when you're in Low Power mode or when your iPhone is away from Wi-Fi. When you look in Settings > Photos, do you see the number of Photos being uploaded change?


Let me know if you see progress.


You can also try updating your iPhone to the latest iOS13.1:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Good luck!
