Hi Keith,
As others pointed out already, there is no indication that you are currently backing up. However, as DJ pointed out, there is a "Backup Now" button if you go to Settings, iCloud, Storage and Backup and the Backup Now button is the second last thing if you swipe right. What you can do is just once force a backup by using the Backup Now button. Maybe do this very late in the evening when you normally have your phone plugged in. Then from that point on the backup will happen at that time or close to that time provided you plug your phone in and it's connected to WiFi. You don't have to be plugged in to power if you force a backup using the Backup Now button, but it won't do it automatically if you are not plugged in. If you double tap bBackup Now you can check the progress of the backup, it will tell you how man percent of the backup is done and give you an approximate time remaining.

Must this be overnight local time, or if connected to power and locked, will it work during daytime hours? Is there an indication on the screen it is backing up so as to not disconnect power and unlock in the middle of a back-up, regardless of time this is happening? Thanks.

Because, when Tony and I purchased our Apple devices, we were told to leave them on the power overnight for an automatic back-up to the iCloud to take place. Have we misconstrued the information we were given?

Just turn on airplane mode then turn wifi back on. iCloud always get backed up with me this way.

This has happened over and over again despite my efforts to limit what is actually backed up. Do members pay for additional iCloud service, or do you use alternative methods for backing up your iPhone? I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
