Can you back up to iCloud without Wifi?
Can you back up to iCloud by plugging your phone into your computer? The WiFi on my phone is broken so I can't back it up the normal way.

Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!

Re: “… Thanks, but I thought iTunes was discontinued? And I don't have a Mac, I have a PC …”
You are correct that that “iTunes” was discontinued within the “Apple Ecosystem”
What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support
But the Windows PC software which you can use to backup your device TO a PC is still called “iTunes for Windows”
Download and use iTunes for Windows 10 - Apple Support
Thank you! I still can't use iTunes to back up to iCloud though, right? That is what I am trying to do. There's no direct way for me to backup to iCloud without WiFi, correct?

Make sure your Windows PC is up to date.
Update to the latest version of iTunes
Update to the latest version of iTunes for Windows 10 – Apple Support (UK)
You can utilize your mobile data to back up your data on iCloud. I'm uncertain as to why you prefer to use a hotspot instead.
Please see the pic below (iPhone 12 Pro)
Of course. Use iTunes (PC) or finder on your Mac to create a backup
Thanks, but I thought iTunes was discontinued? And I don't have a Mac, I have a PC.
iTunes has not been discontinued. The current version is here:

Thanks. That won't work for me, as I have a limited data plan and I prefer not to use what little data I have left for this, if I can help it. Again, the WiFi is completely broken on the phone.
