Hello! If you want to back up your iphone to iCloud (recommended), then go to


settings > *YOUR NAME* at the top, you might have to scroll down and then all the way up > iCloud > (scroll down) iCloud backup > backup now > (RECOMMENDED! turn on iCloud Backup, this will automatically back it up at night when its plugged in and on wifi)


if you want to do it on your computer, download iTunes from the apple website, then plug your phone in, it will prompt you to trust this computer on your phone, and on your computer it will ask you if you want to trust this device, say yes/accept to both. It should ask you if you want to backup your iPhone to your computer.
