Backup

Why can’t I backup with cellular data instead of WiFi? I don’t have access to WiFi. And I don’t trust free WiFi in town.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

That feature is only available if you have an iPhone that supports 5G and your carrier supports it. Backing up on cellular would take a tremendous amount of time and data, and changes in cellular data signal strength could corrupt your backup.
