My iPhone backup to iCloud has been taking forever… I started it hours ago and it’s still not done. Anyone else dealing with this? I tried switching to a faster Wi-Fi but no luck. Any suggestions?
Yeah, same here… iCloud backups are the worst sometimes. I found restarting the phone helped a bit. Maybe give that a try?

Oh, restarting the phone? I never thought of that! I’ll try it, thanks!
If you’re on public Wi-Fi, that could be the problem. It’s usually way slower. Try switching to a private network if you can!

That makes sense… I was at a coffee shop when I started the backup. I’ll try when I get home!
It’s the worst when you think it’ll be quick, but it just drags on forever lol. Maybe try deleting old backups or apps you don’t use anymore? That helped me before.

Oh yeah, clearing out old stuff could be a good idea. I definitely have some apps I don’t even remember using.

Same! I just checked and found like 3 apps I haven’t opened in months. Thanks for the tip!
Maybe it’s just the iCloud servers being slow. Sometimes it’s not your Wi-Fi or phone, it’s just iCloud itself!

That’s true… maybe iCloud just needs some time to catch up. It’s been pretty sluggish lately.
My backup took forever too. I ended up using my computer to backup instead of iCloud. Just a thought if you need a quick fix!

Good idea! I might try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion!
