iPhone won't backup

I added iCloud storage to backup my iPhone (200GB). When I try to backup my phone, I get the message Backing Up..., Estimating time remains...yet nothing happens. It eventually fails after quite some time.

If a message says that your last backup couldn't be completed

  1. Check that you're connected to Wi-Fi.
  2. Ensure that your device is up to date.
  3. Try to back up on another Wi-Fi network.
  4. If you still need help, contact Apple Support.



If your iCloud backup is taking longer than expected to complete

  1. Check that you're connected to Wi-Fi.
  2. Check your upload speed.
  3. Leave your device connected to power and Wi-Fi for 24 hours. If your backup still isn't done, archive important data then contact Apple Support
