    \n
  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 11 or later, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups > tap your current device.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Enable Day One under Choose Data to Back Up<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup<\/em> and tap Back Up Now.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This will include Day One data to iCloud Device backups. For more information about how iCloud Backups work, see: https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT204136<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
