On a Mac this ability is now part of the Finder, but on Windows you’ll be using iTunes to achieve this.Ĭonnect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes and sync your files. You can also back your device up directly to a Mac or Windows PC. Since iOS 15, Apple has provided a way its customers can temporarily back up larger quantities of data to iCloud while migrating to a new iPhone. Below this you’ll see a list of all your currently backed up devices. Tap this to back your phone up immediately.

On the iCloud Back up page you’ll see two toggles, Back Up This iPhone and Back Up Over Mobile Data.On the next page tap iCloud and look down the page to Device Backups, which you should also tap.

To backup to iCloud, open Settings and tap your Apple ID at the top of the list.That’s a shame as iCloud backup is by far the easiest way to back your device up. Apple only provides a miserly 5GB of free iCloud storage space, so it is possible that backing your device up to iCloud isn’t possible.
