Backup is not automatically working at night, phone is plugged in and connected to wifi. This is a new iPhone 13Pro. Having to manually click on backup the next morning to backup everyday.
Re: "... Why reason would be for that? ..." AND " ... I have backed it up “manually” every morning since it was setup ..."
I suspect that your execution of manual backups - while commendable from a data protection standpoint - is inhibiting the automatic backup function.
See "rationale" 3-posts above.
Again, leave it alone (i.e. no manual backups) for 48-72 hours to see if the "auto" backups resume,

FYI My iPhone was setup Monday 28. No auto backup since setup. Why reason would be for that?
I have tried it twice. Had to do a manual reset both everyday. It was not plugged in to the plug that came with it thou. First night it was laid on a charging pad, last night plug into a previous cord I had. It did charge the first few days automatically. I will try the new cord tonight to see if that is the problem. My password on apple has changed, maybe something is not right with that. I do not know. Any other ideas on what it could possibly be???
I’m not sure I effectively communicated my message.
I’ve observed - albeit anecdotally - that if you are performing manual backups, the “auto” backups seem to cease.
It’s almost as if the phone is saying, “Fine … YOU go ahead and do it; I’ll take a vacation.”
So DON’T perform any manual backups for 48 to 72 hours. I suspect the auto backups will begin anew for you.
Have you tried letting it “sit” for a couple of nights (or more) w/o the manual intervention - for maybe 48 hours?
I have not. I just manually do a backup every morning.
No I have not, I have backed it up “manually” every morning since it was setup.
I will not do a manual backup for a couple of days as you have asked. It it does work, I will contact you back. This is very upsetting that it is not working right.
Katana I have tried that already, still doesn’t work.
