iPhone backup does not complete

My iPhone 13 backup is not finishing. It seems to spin forever (hours) on step 6 of 6 applying changes. What should I do?


iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Hey Badgerfan19,


It sounds like you're having an issue backing up your iPhone. We can understand wanting to get that resolved. We want to help.


We'd recommend the steps in this article:


If backing up to iCloud: If you can't back up to iCloud


If backing up to a computer: If you can't back up your iOS or iPadOS device to a computer or restore it from a backup


Thanks!
