How to Upgrade to iOS 13 without Losing Data

[Summary]: Your iPhone data may be lost after the iOS 13 update. So in this article, you will find out the best way to upgrade your iPhone to iOS 13 without losing any data.

iOS 13 is finally here, are you impressed with the new features of iOS 13? Many people may be eager to experience new features. However, before you do this, you need to know that whenever there is a system upgrade, you could lose data if something goes wrong once the process starts. That’s why most experts agree to always back up your iPhone before upgrading to iOS 13/iOS 12.4/iOS 12/iOS 11. In the article you will learn about 3 different ways to back up your iPhone so that your phone data will not be lost after iOS 13 update, and you can find the one that works best for you.

Method 1. Backup iPhone before iOS 13 Update with iTunes

When it comes to backing up your iPhone, people may immediately think of backing up your iPhone data via iTunes. If you have a computer and USB cable next to you, then you can follow the steps below.

step 1. Run iTunes and connect your iPhone to PC via a USB cable. (If a pop-up appears on the device screen asking for your device password or trusting this computer, follow the steps on the screen.)

Step 2. Select the iPhone icon in the top left corner, then select Summary and scroll down to the backup section.

Step 3. Click the “Back Up Now” button and the backup will start automatically.

Once you are done, you can view your backups: Open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. You will see your backup here.

Cons:

1. The backup process is lengthy. If the file is large, you will take a long time.
2. You may encounter an unknown error during the iTunes backup process.
3. You cannot back up individual data files.
4. You cannot selectively back up or restore your phone data. In other words, you need to restore the entire backup, and these files are not previewable.

Method 2. Backup iPhone before iOS 13 Update with iCloud

Backing up your iPhone or iPad via iCloud is another common official way for iOS users. It automatically backs up your data via a Wi-Fi network connection. However, each iOS user can only back up files up to 5GB for free. Once you reach the limit, you can purchase more memory, 50GB for $0.99/month, 200GB for $2.99/month, and 2T for $9.99/month. Here are the steps to back up your iPhone via iCloud.

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to a stable Wi-Fi network and go to Settings on your iPhone.

Step 2. Find your iCloud account. If your iPhone is running on iOS 10.2 or earlier, you will need to go to iPhone Settings > Scroll Down and select iCloud.

Step 3. Open iCloud Backup and click on “Back Up Now“.
