Backup says not enough storage but I have plenty
My phone says to back up but also says not enough storage. When I go to storage I have over 4G storage. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Maniac_Momma,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities!
While 4GB is a decent chunk of the free tier of iCloud, it is likely not enough space to back up all the data on your iPhone.
You can check how much space would be needed in Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
If you're seeing that you don't have enough space to back up your device, you would need to upgrade your iCloud to back up. This can walk you through that: Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support
Hope this helps!
