Backup erro

This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. But I’m recently purchased 50GB storage.

iPhone 12 Pro, 16

50GB may not be enough to store your iPhone backup based on the size of the used space on your device.


Please check you have enough iCloud Storage.


Connect to the Internet over WiFI and keep it connected to power.


Please check iCloud available storage vis-a-vis the backup space required.


Alternative: Choose what to backup and what not to.


Settings > [Tap your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Storage > Backups > [Select your Device, if you have more than one] >


Here You have the next backup size

Choose data to backup. Disable the apps which may consume more space and are not important to you. Note this only backup data within App, not the app itself.


Do not forget to tap "Show all Apps" to see all the apps' data that is getting backed up.


Watch the GIF below to know the size of the next backup.
