Step 1: Select the Settings app icon on your Home screen.
Step 2: Choose your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
Step 3: Tap the iCloud option.
Step 4: Select iCloud Backup.
Step 5: Touch the Back Up Now button.
Now that you know how to back up iPhone 14 to iCloud, you can do this anytime that you would like to create a backup of your iPhone.
Note that there is also a Back Up This iPhone switch at the top of this menu that you can enable if you would like your iPhone to back itself up automatically.
This usually occurs at night or when you typically don’t use the phone.
You may also want to turn off the Back Up Over Cellular option if you don’t want your iPhone to use cellular data when it creates these backups. They can be several GB in size, depending on what you are backing up, which can consume a lot of cellular data.
Additionally, you only get 5 GB of iCloud storage for free. This might be enough space at first, but you can easily exceed that after only a couple of months of use. If you need additional space, then you can pay for one of the iCloud upgrades using the menu on the iCloud Backup screen.
