Evacuating unused applications will trim down the measure of capacity you’re utilizing, and furthermore accelerate the reinforcement procedure since there’s less for iTunes or iCloud to reinforcement.
Back up your iPhone or iPad
There are two techniques for sponsorship up your iOS gadget. You can utilize Apple’s iCloud administration, or use iTunes on a Mac or PC. Support up through iCloud is ostensibly the least demanding technique. It’s a smart thought to back up your gadget directly before you update, that way if something turns out badly you’re not reestablishing to a reinforcement made a couple of days prior, and the majority of your present data will be reestablished.
iCloud
Using Apple’s iCloud service to back up your iOS device is the easier method. Each iCloud account is given 5GB of free storage for things like backups, so why not use it? To force a backup of your iOS device using Apple’s iCloud service, go to Settings > tap on your name > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back up now.
Make sure you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network and have a charger handy. You don’t want to burn through your wireless data plan, and the backup process can chew through a lot of your battery in a short time.
Use iTunes
Another way to back up your iOS device is to use iTunes. You’ll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and an Apple Lightning cable. Connect your iOS device to the computer and unlock it. Enter your PIN code if prompted to approve a connection between the computer and device.
In iTunes, click on the small thumbnail of your device next to the Music/Movies drop-down menu.
With the Summary option selected on the left, you should see a screen full of details about your device. On that screen is also a Backups section. Leave iCloud selected, but check the Encrypt iPhone backup box. You’ll be asked for a password that will be used to encrypt the backup. Whatever you do, do not lose or forget the password you enter — without it, you can’t restore your iOS device’s backup should you need to.
With a password entered, click Back Up Now and let iTunes work. A few minutes later, you’ll have an encrypted backup stored on your computer. An encrypted backup will prevent you from having to enter account passwords for apps like email or Facebook when restoring a device, as opposed to iCloud backups that can be hit or miss.
Once you have a backup, install iOS 13, then check out our complete guide to all of the hidden — and announced — features so you can get the most out of the update.
