My WiFi doesn’t let me backup my iPhone, or install updates. Is there a way I can use my Unlimited Cell Phone Data?

Not on an iPhone 7.


To be able to backup over cellular data, you need an iPhone 12 or 13 connected to 5G.

Perhaps fixing your Wi-Fi so you can update through it would be a better approach.
