Hi 247K,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with iCloud and cellular data.


Wi-Fi is required for an iCloud backup: Back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iCloud.


If you sync some of your data to iCloud in Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud like Photos, Contacts, Files, Calendar, Notes, iCloud Drive then you can use your cellular data for syncing as long as these apps are selected in Settings > Cellular Data.


Have a fantastic day!
