So I’ve been trying to back up my iPhone, and it’s been stuck on ‘backing up’ for hours now. I’ve been waiting for like 6 hours, but it still says ‘backing up.’ I’ve got a good Wi-Fi connection, so IDK what’s going on. Anyone else dealing with this or know how to fix it?
Ugh, same here. It took forever for mine to back up last time. Maybe try switching your Wi-Fi network? That helped for me.

Oh, I didn’t even think of that. I’ll give it a try next time! Thanks for the tip.
For me, I had too many apps on my phone. Once I cleared out some stuff, the backup sped up.

Good idea! I probably have a ton of junk apps that I don’t use anymore. I’ll clean it up.
This happened to me once. I had to restart the phone and that seemed to fix it. Worth a shot.

Ah, I’ll definitely try restarting it next time. Thanks for the suggestion!
I had the same issue. Is it possible you’re on public Wi-Fi? That could be slowing it down.

Oh yeah, I am on a café Wi-Fi right now. Maybe that’s it. I’ll switch to my home Wi-Fi later.
I think your backup might be slow because iCloud is handling a lot of data. Could be that.

That makes sense. It probably has a lot to back up. Thanks for the input!
