Iphone not backing up

Am using an iphone 5s, ios 9.2. Whenever i want to backup my icloud, it says that iphone cannot be backed up at the moment. It's been going on for about 3 weeks. It happens too when i want to delete a backup, it says that it cannot be done at the moment. Same thing is happening with my mum's phone- iphone 6, ios 9.2. Please help.

Hi Jimmyyy22,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with backing up to iCloud. Let's see if we can get that sorted out.
Take a look at the troubleshooting outline below. Most of these issue can be resolved by insuring that you are connected to the Wi-Fi and having enough storage. If that doesn't work, then you will want to contact Apple Support.

A message says my backup could not be completed

  1. Make sure you're connected to the Internet with Wi-Fi.
  2. If possible, try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network.
  3. See if you have enough iCloud storage for your backup, and get more storage if you need it.
  4. If you need more help, contact Apple Support.

Have a good day
