After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
After you've turned on iCloud Backup, iCloud can automatically back up your device each day. iCloud makes these daily automatic backups only if:
Your device is connected to a power source.
Your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Your device's screen is locked.
You have enough available space in iCloud for the backup.
