iCloud automatic backups no longer working on iOS 17

Since upgrading the software on both my iPhone 11 and 7th gen iPad, the automatic backups are no longer working. I can still select "Back up Now" on either device, and the backup is completed. How do I resume getting the automatic backups to work


iPhone 11, iOS 17

Hello MBT1949,  

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  


Please be sure that "Back Up This iPhone" is enabled in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.



Note that the backup will only complete when your device is connected to Wi-Fi and the display is locked.


All the best!
