I want to back up my Phone without connecting to a wifi network

Hello stompie241!

No problem! You can back up your iPhone using a computer. To learn how, please see: Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Backing Up an iPhone Without WiFi:

You can use Ethernet on a computer. Or, update to the computer, directly.

Updating Using a Computer:

I may have misread the OP's reply. Having replied to my reply about computer use, I took the reply as if they were using Cellular on a computer. I stand corrected, if not the case.

Backing Up Using Cellular:

No. Backing up using cellular is not an option. The reason this is so is probably because it would take oh so long to complete. Apple wants it to be successful, and wants the best for its users. On top op that, remember that there is only so much that broadband can handle. That's just the way Apple designed it.

An iPhone 12 and newer with a 5G connection can back up to iCloud via cellular. This assumes your data cap allows that.

If that is not an option, your carrier may be able to provide you with a MiFi or Jetpack Wi-Fi router, connected to the carrier 5G. And your data cap allows, of course.

Otherwise, as mentioned above, connect to and use Mac or Windows.
