Is your iPhone not backing up to iCloud? Is the storage, that you refer to, on your iPhone or on iCloud?

——-

How much free storage space do you have on your iPhone? To find out, open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ About ➡️ Available: Here, you will see the available free storage space on your iPhone.


How much free storage space do you have on iCloud for backups? To find out, open Settings ➡️ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➡️ iCloud: Here, you will see how much space has been used on iCloud and how much is available.

“Backing up” … to where? iCloud? A computer?


If the answer is iCloud, then you need a strong Wi-Fi connection (no VPN, no Hotspot, no anti-virus), and a well charged iPhone staying in a quiet state for some time. And presumably you have chosen “Back Up Now” or have left the iPhone stay overnight attempting this backup.
