Back Up Over Cellular switch ?

Settings > User Name > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back Up Over Cellular ?

The switch (on/off) is no longer available in iOS 16.3.1.

How is this function now controlled in iOS settings?

Thanks

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Hello Applehension,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some questions about backing up your device over cellular data, and we'd like to help. The following link may be able to assist, as it walks through how to back up your iPhone: Back up iPhone - Apple Support


Back up iPhone using iCloud
1) Go to Settings  > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.
2) Turn on iCloud Backup.
iCloud automatically backs up your iPhone daily when iPhone is connected to power, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.
Note: On models that support 5G, your carrier may give you the option to back up iPhone using your cellular network. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, then turn on or off Backup Over Cellular.
3) To perform a manual backup, tap Back Up Now.

Please note the steps in the above section about models that support 5G. This would need to be supported by your carrier.


Regards.
