Backing up iPhone 11 on cellular wi-Fi with no Internet

I don’t have Internet in the house. Verizon told me my phone comes with it and they are right sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I want to know why I can’t seem to back up without everything doubling. I always have to go through my phone and start deleting it does not merge everywhere. I am sick of this. Isn’t there a factory default somewhere? I don’t have my Mac anymore. All I have is my iPhone in my iPad. They are both old. It’s all I have to work with and that’s just that I need to know if there’s an AI app that will do it for me. I keep hearing about these AI apps with personal assistance who do all this for you? I am willing to pay for an app because it’s worth saving my nerves. Will you please help me?

iPhones do not have built-in internet connectivity by default. To access the internet, you need to connect to an external network.


This can be achieved in two primary ways:

  1. Cellular Data: You can subscribe to a cellular data plan through a mobile service provider. This allows your iPhone to access the internet over the provider's network. Different providers offer various data plans, and you can choose one that suits your needs based on data usage, speed, and cost.
  2. Wi-Fi: Alternatively, you can connect to a Wi-Fi network, which requires subscribing to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for internet access. ISPs typically provide a router or modem to set up Wi-Fi at home or in the office. Public Wi-Fi networks are also available in places like cafes, airports, and libraries, although they might require authentication or passwords for access.


Both options ensure seamless internet access, enabling you to browse, stream, and use apps on your iPhone.
