Anyone else’s iPhone backup super slow?

My iPhone backup has been running for hours, and it’s still not done. I’ve tried everything I can think of, but it’s like it’s stuck. My Wi-Fi is fine, so I’m not sure what the issue is. Anyone else dealing with this?

Same thing happened to me. I switched Wi-Fi networks, and it seemed to help a bit. Have you tried that?

I didn’t even think of that! I’ll give it a shot next time. Thanks!

I’ve been dealing with this too. I noticed my backup speed improves when I delete old apps I don’t use anymore.

Ohh, I’m definitely hoarding a bunch of old apps I don’t use. Good idea, I’ll clean up my phone.

I read somewhere that restarting the phone can help. Have you tried that yet?

I forgot about that trick. I’ll try restarting next time. Fingers crossed!

Sometimes if you’re on public Wi-Fi, it can slow down backups. Maybe try a private connection?

Yeah, I was on public Wi-Fi earlier. I’ll switch to my home Wi-Fi next time.

I had the same issue a while ago. Turns out, it was just a bug with the iCloud service. Might wanna check if there’s an update.

Oh wow, good point. I’ll check for updates. Hopefully, that’ll fix it.
