iCloud backup without wifi

I do not have Wi-Fi, for various reasons. Does that really mean that I can never use iCloud backup? Is there no workaround or hidden setting?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

See the following from Back up iPad - Apple Support

(click the "that support 5G" to see if your iPad model is supported)


Note: On Wi-Fi + Cellular models that support 5G, your carrier may give you the option to back up iPad using your cellular network. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, then turn on or off Backup Over Cellular.
