I’ve been trying to back up my phone for hours now and it’s still not done. It’s like it’s stuck in slow motion or something. My Wi-Fi is good, so IDK what’s up. Anyone else dealing with this?
Ugh, same here. It took forever for mine to back up the other day. Try restarting the phone, that helped me a little.

Ohh, I forgot about that. I’ll give it a shot next time. Thanks!
I had this issue too! I switched to a different Wi-Fi and it seemed to speed up. Maybe try that?

I’ll try that! Didn’t even think about changing networks lol. Hopefully, that works!
For me, it was all the apps I hadn’t cleaned out. I cleared up some space and the backup went way faster.

Good idea. I bet I have a bunch of stuff I don’t even use anymore. Gonna do some cleaning!
You might want to check if your iCloud storage is almost full. That could slow things down too.

Didn’t think of that! I’ll check it out and see if that’s the problem.
Has anyone had their backup stuck in ‘Waiting’ mode for ages? My phone’s been like that for hours. Anyone know what that means?

Yes! That happened to me once. I had to log out of iCloud and log back in to fix it.
