Backing Up an iPhone Using Cellular:

You need to have 5G services, and an applicable model to perform this.  Important: Know that this may cause you to exceed your cellular data plan.

To Verify if this is an Option:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: [your name] (the top item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: iCloud Backup
  5. Tap: Backup Over Cellular (so that it is green)
