If you're using Catalina or later, iTunes was replaced by Finder for that job What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support

See this Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

I also advise you to use a computer method, not only the iCloud one, so you'll have a full backup with things that iCloud doesn't save.
