Why is my iPhone backup taking forever

My iPhone has been trying to back up for hours. I swear, it’s been like 6 hours and it’s still not done. My Wi-Fi’s fine, so IDK what’s up. Anyone have tips?

Yeah, I had the same problem. Switching Wi-Fi networks fixed it for me. Try that?

Thanks, I’ll try that next time! Never even thought to switch networks lol.

For me, it was deleting large apps. I had too much junk on my phone slowing everything down.

Good call, I’ll clean up my apps too. Probably hoarding old stuff I don’t need.

Dude, same here. My backup took all night. Maybe try restarting the phone?

Oh yeah, forgot about that trick. I’ll restart and hope for the best!

If you’re on public Wi-Fi, it’s gonna be slow. Try a private connection.

Makes sense. I’ll switch off my cafe Wi-Fi when I get home.

Oh, that got deleted… anyway, back to the topic… anyone else still having this issue?
