of files with large size and high quality in your
iPhone will slow down iCloud backup speed.

for free is provided for iPhone users. You may

network. If you connect to a weak or unstable
WiFi, iCloud backup will take forever and may
even get stuck.

10. Tip 4: Back up your iPhone regularly
Generally, a device new to iCloud needs more time to backup, and if you
upload a huge amount of data in one time, it will keep you wait much longer. To
accelerate the backup speed, you can back up regularly when your files
increase. If you back up more frequently, every backup will be faster in a
reasonable time.

iCloud backup mainly depends on your network stability and speed. To avoid
iCloud backup taking too long, it is necessary for you to have a stable and fast-
speed network
