Making a backup

How to install iOS 11, is my iPhone compatible?

Once we have checked that our device will support this version, we will have to make a backup of our data. And why? To not lose anything and when we have it installed, our photos, contacts and applications will appear .

There are two options for this, backing up to iCloud or through iTunes .

How to back up with iCloud

Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
Go to [your name] Settings and play on iCloud. If you’re using iOS 10.2 or an earlier version, go to Settings, then scroll down and tap iCloud.
iCloud configuration on iPhone
Play iCloud. If you’re using iOS 10.2 or an earlier version, tap Backup. Make sure iCloud Backup is enabled.
Activate iCloud Backup on iPhone.
Press Backup. Stay connected to your Wi-Fi network until the process is complete.

Make sure the backup is complete: Go to Settings>[your name]>iCloud> iCloud Storage>Manage Storage and then select your device. If you’re using iOS 10.2 or an earlier version , go to Settings> iCloud> Storage> Manage Storage, then select your device. The backup should appear with details of when it was made and the size of the backup.

Backing Up with iTunes

Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer.
If a message appears asking for the device’s access code or Trust this Device, follow the steps on the screen. If you forget your access code, get help.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod when it appears in iTunes. If your device doesn’t appear in iTunes, you can fix it that way.
If you want to save the Health and Activity data on your iOS device or Apple Watch, you must encrypt your backup: Select the Encrypt box and create a password. Write down your password and keep it somewhere safe, because there’s no way to recover your iTunes backups without this password. If you don’t need to save your Health and Activity data, you can make a backup that’s not encrypted. Just click Back Up Now.

Know your access code

If you have a password set on your device, make sure you know it so you can upgrade to iOS 11.

Prepare your Apple ID

After upgrading to iOS 11, sign in with your Apple ID to access all Apple services, including iCloud and the App Store.

Installation

All you have to do is wait until tomorrow, Tuesday, to skip the update via OTA (Over The Air) on your device or connect to iTunes and do it, and you can enjoy all the new features Apple has prepared for us with peace of mind, which are undoubtedly all advantages.

Tell us your experience in comments and don’t forget to follow us on social networks, we are waiting for you.
