Back Up iPhone

I'm trying to back up my phone which says I'm only using 2.4 GB of 5 available. My phone keeps saying I don't have enough room to back up. Tried rebooting phone. Any ideas?


I refuse to buy additional storage.

iPhone 14, iOS 17

How large is your new backup going to be?

Go to Settings ➜ Apple ID ➜ iCloud ➜ iCloud Backup ➜ Your iPhone's backup ➜ Next Backup Size and make sure can fit in the 2.4GB that are available. It may take a while to calculate the next backup size.


If it does not, you can turn off apps from the list there, until it can fit.
