Hey there Pam,


You'd lock the screen by pressing the side button on your iPhone. This would work while doing anything on your iPhone, which includes making a backup to iCloud. Just in case, we wanted to provide the iPhone User Guide for your reference.


If you meant that something else is occurring, let us know more exact details, and we'll assist however we can.


Cheers!
