How to Back Up iPhone Contacts to iCloud?
- First, you'll need to ensure that you have a solid connection by hooking your iPhone up to a Wi-Fi network. Once you're on Wi-Fi, you'll need to go to 'Settings', hit your name, and then touch 'iCloud'.
- Once you're in the 'iCloud' tab, you'll see 'iCloud Backup' with a little toggle button right beside it. All you need to do is make sure that is turned on (toggle button should be green).
- Once you've made sure the iCloud Backup is turned on, you'll need to tap 'Back Up Now' which is on the same screen. Remain on a Wi-Fi network until the backup is complete.
