Backup Prompts

Hi, I’ve been using my phone for a while without any problems, but recently I’ve been getting a ton of prompts to enter my passcode to backup my iPhone. This happens around 6-7 times a day for no apparent reason. I turned off backups on iCloud but this issue still persists. Anyone know why this happens?

Thank you for the screenshot.


Disable the VPN:

I see you are connected to a VPN. A VPN is a common culprit for connection inconsistencies. So, debate it, and delete it. A VPN just gets in the way on an Apple device, and this is a pure example of how and why. Report back that happens.
