woke up to a message saying my phone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks?

Have iCloud auto backup turned on and when I checked it was on. Basically hasn’t backed up since I installed ios11

Anyone else?
 
I had to manually do it

I toggled it on and off for future use

Let’s see if it backs up tonight

I had the same issue.

In my case the problem was hard to find, but easy to solve.

I just have the standard iCloud plan with 5 gigs.

After each iOS update apple toggles on that photos are part of the backup.

In my case that ment my backup was blown up with 3 extra Gigs plus the iCloud backup 1 gigs.

There was simply not enough space to save the backup together with the 2 gigs of data i had in iCloud already.

But the error message does not tell you that you don't have enough space and therefore the process is stopped.

I unchecked Photos in iCloud backup and after that the backup could be created.
