how do i create a backup on my iphone if the screen is broken

Hi

Unfortunately my iphone is broken and it turns out that I do not have the iCloud-back up. What a rookie mistake.


My screen is partly broken, so I can do some things but not all. I managed to buy some storage on the phone and now i actually have 26 gb that is not even used. Unfortunately, when I try to do a ICloud-Backup its not working :(


Is there any hope it will happen when its locked, charging and on wifi? is there anything else I can try to make it work?


Thank you in advance.



iPhone 11, iOS 15

if u own any other apple devices u can actually check it.If u go to settings from another iPhone with same Apple ID go to name-icloud manage space-backups u can check all devices linked and latest backup of that device ,u can see size of backup and the date and time


however try doing a backup via iTunes on windows or macOS Mojave and earlier or finder on Macos catalina and later,It will ask for a passcode and to authorize pc

if it wont go through sorry my friend, there is no other way to backup
