- There's one thing you must do before updating to iOS 15
and there's one thing you must do after
you've updated to iOS 15.
Let's talk about both of those things
- Right.
So it's back it up.
because things could go wrong during iOS updates.
If things are going to go wrong with your iPhone
at some point in the near future
it's gotta be during this process
so you need to have a backup.
Let's dive into the couple of ways to do it.
My favorite way, the best way to do it,
is to go to the settings app on your iPhone,
tap on your name at the top of the screen
then tap on iCloud,
then tap iCloud backup,
and tap backup now.
In my case, I've chosen to turn off backups
of my golf swings because there's like 50 gigabytes of them.
And from FiLMiC Pro
because that's what we use sometimes to record videos.
Because they be taken up all my iCloud storage space.
So I'm just going to tap continue here,
and it'll back up.
It's not going to take very long because
I leave my phone plugged in connected to wifi
and the screen is off at night.
So it just automatically updates every single night.
- And while that's backing up,
let's talk about the one thing you must do
after you've updated to iOS 15.
And it's this new setting
this new backup over cellular setting.
- I could not believe that they built this in
and they only built it into 5G enabled iPhones which makes
a little bit of sense, but not a ton of sense.
When not connected to wifi use your cellular network
to backup to iCloud.
This may cause you to exceed your cellular data plan.
This will cause you to exceed your cellular data plan.
It's the thing.
So after you update your iPhone, come back here
which has a new iOS 15 feature this turnout by default
and definitely turn this off.
This is super important.
- You are going to burn through your cellular data
one backup.
- (Payette) One backup.
- If you're like me and you just don't have
iCloud storage space
you can back up your iPhone to finder or iTunes.
- Thank God.
What computers would we use finder with David?
- Yes, so that's Mac running a Mac OS 10.15 or newer.
Or if you want to use iTunes it's going to be
Mac running 10.14 Mac OS or older
or PCs.
- Indeed, so I'll plug my phone.
This is a phone. - That's phone.
- Into my computer.
(space explosion)
Then I'll go to finder on my Mac
to open up a finder window.
On the left-hand side I'll scroll down.
There's two DP's iPhones here.
- (Lynch) Oh boy. - (Payette) Oh dear.
(birds chirping)
It's because we use one for the overhead cam too
iPhone 12 pro.
Guessed the right one.
I can scroll down here
and I can see last backup to iCloud is today at 3:46 PM.
You could choose backup all of the data on your iPhone
to this Mac instead, and then just tap back up now
if you want to have a backup, that's the way to do it.
Just back up your iPhone.
Make sure it's somewhere.
It's gotta be on your computer, it's gotta be in iCloud.
- And if you're in iTunes, look that little phone icon
near the upper left-hand corner of iTunes.
It'll look very similar to this layout.
- That's a good point David
because it is easy to not to see that
little tiny phone icon.
Upper left hand corner like David said.
- Yes, so that's a what to do
before and after you update to iOS 15,
