APPLE IN 2020This is the perfect time to make sure you always
have a recent backup. To start, turn on iCloud backup.
Open the Settings app and then tap your Apple ID at
the top of the screen. Then tap iCloud, and scroll down
past your list of apps to tap on iCloud Backup. Make
sure that is enabled, and just for good measure tap
‘Back Up Now’.
But your iCloud backup doesn’t store everything on
your phone. To do that, you want to make an encrypted
backup to your computer. Connect your iPhone to
your Mac or PC, launch iTunes, select your iPhone by
clicking the little phone icon in the toolbar, and under
Backups, choose This Computer. Check Encrypt iPhone
backup, so your account passwords and Health data
gets backed up – just be sure to use a password you
won’t forget. Click the button to Back up now.
If you have a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, you’ll
find your iPhone in the sidebar of Finder instead of in
iTunes, but the rest of the backup process is the same.An encrypted backup is the best way to save
everything on your iPhone. Do it once a monthAPPLE IN 2020
