public beta, it's always a good idea to make sure you've backed up your iPhone and iPad first. While you likely won't see any data loss after an upgrade, software glitches can and do happen; additionally, when testing a beta, certain things may not work like they used to. As such, it's worth it to protect your data before you embark upon an update.</p> <p>Thankfully, backing your device up to
iCloud or
iTunes is easy enough and can give you peace of mind in knowing that if something
does go wrong, all your data is protected.</p> <!--break--> <p>iCloud backups should automatically happen at least once a day: They trigger when your iPhone or iPad is plugged in and on Wi-Fi. That said, here's how to make sure you have an up-to-the-minute backup solution.</p> <h2>How to make a backup of your iPhone or iPad using iCloud</h2> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Select <strong>iCloud</strong>.
