Fortunately, there are numerous methods to eliminate syncing screens and back up your WhatsApp swiftly. In this article, we have outlined several troubleshooting techniques that will resolve the issue for you. So, let’s get started.
1. Verify iCloud Drive is Turned On
To back up your WhatsApp data to iCloud, it’s important to ensure that iCloud Drive is turned on. It will allow WhatsApp to store your backup files on iCloud, making it easier to restore your data if you ever need to. Sometimes, turning off iCloud Drive and then turning it back on can help resolve issues with backing up your WhatsApp data to iCloud. So, if your iCloud Drive is already on, simply turn it off and then turn it back on.
2. Verify the Apple ID
When attempting to back up your WhatsApp data to iCloud, it is essential to ensure that you are signed in with the correct Apple ID used to access iCloud. If you are not signed in or are using a different Apple ID, the backup process will not be able to complete successfully. To check if you are signed in with the correct Apple ID, go to Settings on your iPhone, select your Apple ID at the top of the screen, and then select iCloud. If you are not signed in, enter your Apple ID and password. If you have already signed in, ensure that it is correct.

If the issue persists, proceed to the next troubleshooting step.
4. Verify available space on your iCloud account
To create a backup of your WhatsApp data on iCloud, ensure that your iCloud account has sufficient available space, ideally at least 2.05 times the actual size of your backup. To check the available space in your iCloud account, visit the Manage Storage section within your iCloud settings.

If the backup is larger than the available space on your iCloud account, you will need to free up space or upgrade your iCloud storage plan.
