iMore Question

wy won't my Iphone 5s backup to the Icloud?

My Iphone 5s will not backup to the Icloud even after I follow all of the instructions on how to do so. My wi-fi is connected, bluetooth on, etc. My ipad backs up to the Icloud not the Iphone. Any suggestions?

Reboot your device and update to iOS 9.0.2 if your on iOS 9 and toggle off photos just to see if it's a space issue

Thanks for your response. I am already updated to iOS 9.0.2 and I have plenty of space, but did what you suggested (no luck)

Don't rule out the possibility that Apple could be having iCloud-related issues that has yet to be noted on its status page.

I had issues on my 5s til I upgraded to 9.01 then all was good. Updated to 9.02 and again had issues. I now have a 6s on 9.02 and have not been able to back up to the cloud. Not a fan of ios9 so far. I was under the impression that Apple was gonna focus on function on this version, I think someone has dropped the ball so far.

Well about a week ago my 6s started backing up to the cloud. I didn't make any changes to anything, it just started working again. Strange.
