Backing up iPhone to the cloud

I am unable to use iCloud to back up my iPhone - have tried clicking iCloud backup and it says "backing up...estimating time remaining" but nothing happens - the little circle just turns and it seems that the phone does not back up.... Any idea what's going on here?

Perhaps your backup doesn't fit into your iCloud storage (and you might need to buy extra storage for iCloud).

Check your iCloud Storage:--> Settings>[your name]>iCloud and see the graphic that appears.

If you need more storage:--> Upgrade your iCloud storage plan - Apple Support
