If you keep saying the iPhone not backed up to iCloud alert again and again, don't worry. Let's fix this together on your new iPhone 17 Pro Max or any other iPhone running with latest iOS 26.
So, first you have to open up your settings, then go for your Apple ID at the top. Now, go for iCloud and here you will see a list of apps that are using iCloud storage. Now, turn off the apps you don't want to back up. This helps free up space.
Keep only the important ones turn on. >> >> Now, back from here and go to iCloud back up. And from here, if you notice any old device still sign in with your Apple ID and you no longer use them, just go to those devices iCloud settings and turn off iCloud back up, then delete their old backups. Now, check if the error still appears. From your settings again, go to general and from iPhone
storage, here you have to offload or delete apps and files you don't want to use anymore. Now, check again. If none of these steps work for you, open settings, then iCloud, and then go to backup settings.
