I am searching for ways for iCloud Backup on iPhone over cellular/mobile Data without Wifi.
Why? I am camping outside next to a very good phone signal antenna and have unlimited (!) mobile data every day for fixes price. I want to be able to do my iPhone icloud backups nomrally from my ipHone over mobile data, however that is not possible and I need to be connected to wifi. But I cannot go home or somewehre to get wifi!
Does anyone know a workaround? This limitation seems like from the old times, where mobile data cost a lot…
What works is: Creating a wifi network from an adroid (with thaht unlimited mobile data sim card) and trickng the iphone into thinking he is connected into a normal wifi network. If I try to do the same with a second ipHone that same strategy wont work, as the iphones recognize it is a personal hotspot which runs mobile data and not a regular wifi connection and does not do the backup as well by stating the connection is slow… However I have speeds up to 50 mb/s. And the backup over the Android hotspot with the same sim card works perfect!
And: any other backup (itunes, offline , third party app etc.) is NOT an alternative for me. I want all to be in the cloud easy peasy. (btw i am still on ios13 but I dont think it changed on iOS 14 right?)
Further info /discussio on this sad limitation (which seems kind of outdated):
