Back Up Your iPhone Regularly

This one might not seem necessary, but having a recent copy of the data on your iPhone could help you in the future. 

Remember that if you lose your iPhone or if someone steals it, you might be forced to permanently delete it remotely if you can’t find it right away. However, if you’ve backed it up, you’ll have a copy of your iPhone configuration and all your data ready to be installed on your next device.

You can back up your iPhone manually or make it so your iPhone backs up automatically by doing the following:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on your Apple ID at the top of the Settings page.
3. Go to iCloud.
4. Scroll down and select iCloud Backup.
5. If it isn’t already, turn on Back Up This iPhone.
6. Or, if you want to back it up right now, tap on Back Up Now.

Once iCloud Backups are enabled, your iPhone will back up automatically every 24 hours as long as it’s charging and connected to Wi-Fi. On some carriers and plans, you may also have the option to enable backups over 5G, although we advise against doing this unless you have an unlimited (or virtually unlimited) data plan.
