If your iPhone won't backup despite having sufficient storage, try the following steps:

Check Your Network: Ensure you're connected to a stable Wi-Fi network as iCloud backups can't be performed over cellular data.

Update iOS: Go to Settings > General > Software Update. If there’s an update available, download and install it. Sometimes, bugs affecting backups are resolved in newer iOS versions.

Check iCloud Settings: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup. Make sure that iCloud Backup is turned on. Also, verify you have enough free space in iCloud for the backup. Remember, you need free space in iCloud, not just on your iPhone.

Restart Your iPhone: This can resolve hidden issues affecting connectivity and app performance. Press and hold the side button with either volume button, then slide to power off. Turn it back on after a few seconds.

Reset Network Settings: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This won't erase data but will clear your current network settings, potentially fixing issues.

Following these steps should help resolve the backup issue, ensuring your data is safely stored in iCloud.
