I can’t say why Apple says it must be locked, unless it is to assure that you are not updating something in the middle of the backup. You will see the result of the backup when you next go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud/iCloud Backup, or when you connect the phone to your computer. As a backup usually only takes a few minutes it doesn’t have to be locked for long.


If you are using it you can always initiate a manual backup and wait for it to complete, again, this only takes a few minutes.
